October 2004

I am now back from Skipton with my new tup - called RM Roger.  RM is the flock name of his breeder - Roger Field - whom I have named him after.  Roger has been breeding Wensleydales for as long as I have and breeds sheep with wonderful wool.  This tup lambRM Roger won best woolled sheep at the Ripley show this year and was second in his class at the breed show and sale at Skipton.

Advance news of December 2004

We will be exibiting at‘Absolutely Christmas', being held between 2–5 December 2004, at the SECC in Glasgow, where you can see and buy our range of woven textiles.

An exciting new venture is our collaboration with young designer Sally Bound.  Sally came and did work experience with us last summer which was great fun.  We have decided to collaborate this year on a joint venture into a few fashion items.  I am thrilled to be working with Sally.  We think along the same lines but

she brings her own special dimension to the things we do.

I have been working on a few bespoke pieces of clothing in tartan and tweed over the last year which have been very successful.  These will be combined with some of Sally's wonderful  and creative ideas leading to some really exciting and contemporary fashion.
