Participants' comments:

A very worthwhile course.  Millie was a great character and made the course interesting, despite the challenges!  As usual, a wonderful welcome and lunch from Anne and Bob.

Great course as usual in wonderful surroundings.  I most definitely learnt things today, especially the revelation that much of curtain-making can be done by hand (great for sewing-machine-phobes like me!).  Many thanks, Claire
