I feel that I always find something of interest in your blogs which I have been reading for many years . I click on your links and start investigating along some new avenue. Your photographs are so beautiful. I'm sure you must spend quite a while developing such entertaining and informative publications. Just wanted to let you know how much enjoyment I receive from them . Thank you, Anne

John Lewis do a wipe clean tablecloth in the Srawberry thief design... it looks like fabric and useful in the kitchen.

I must have a look the next time I'm in. (The fabric shown here is the lining of a jacket.)
