Hi, I am Brian Lemin... a mad keen bobbin researcher. I have been away from
you good folk for a while but good things have been happening. Most of all
my oncologist has discharged me as a 10 years survivor of Prostate cancer
(radiation and minor surgery was my treatment) I also have lost a third of
my kidney to a pre cancerous lump but all is well there.
Enough of me to the bobbins!
I have spent a considerable amount of time and effort studying East Devon
Bobbins (Honiton bobbins) and have now moved in to writing up my various
findings, however I have a problem. I do not have enough bobbins to study!
Sydney to Honiton is a long way and costly!
Now, I am not asking for donations of your precious bobbins but perhaps a
few of you might be willing to scan your East Devon bobbins for me.
please
So that my ISP does not melt down may I tell you that my first article is
about Maritime decorations on East Devon bobbins. So what I would love are
any pictures (scans, seem easiest) of ships [in [particular], mermaids,
whales, sailors whatever that may be maritime in nature.
If you are a person who will be kind enough to help, pleased drop me a note
before you scan them as I now flatten out the pictures and would need each
bobbin scanned a few times. (Oh dear I am not only asking for a favour but
I am being a bit picky too!)
I have no plans to publish commercially so no money will result in my
studies, but any pictures donated might end up on the net.
Here is my email address if you are able to offer me any help with these
studies.

You will know what to do with the AT of course.
Many thanks :)
