I think Dora may not have realised that my sister works in the govt. buildings in central London and uses the Underground daily. That's the reason for my worry. If my sister were a SAHM in one of the suburbs, I wouldn't have been nearly as concerned, but she does go through Kings Cross frequently a

Dora Smith lives in Austin, Texas. I have to say that I also found her remarks rather flippant. London may be big, but the Underground is the way people and visitors get around there. As has been said by others, you only had to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could have been any

I think everyone here in UK would be thankful to everyone for their messages of sympathy and support. My cousins only missed the devastation because they decided to go in later to work than usual. Their mother nearly went mad trying to contact them, but all the phone networks were blocked. Th

Not that huge I think you will find. The London borough might be large but the area that would attract this kind of attack is probably only 5 or 6 miles across. And the concentration of people in such a relatively small area is considerable. I wonder if you were this casual when 9/11 hap

Whether London is large or small is not important. If we have learned anything in the last few years, it is that the world has actually become a much smaller place. We have had posts recently mentioning how much we share, even continents apart. I have close friends in the Amazon, in Africa, in Ca

Dear Spiders, Before I comment on the window lace I want to add my prayers and thoughts to those in London. My heart is so sad. You all have very good ideas. I like the one of mixing the lace and maybe doing the trails and leaves in bobbin lace and some of the flowers in tatting. I am going

Hi folks I have found a bookmark pattern on www.lokk.nl that has the sweetest top (metal looking bobbin lace pillow and bobbins) that your lace bookmark can attach to but I can't read Dutch to see how/where/how much or even if it is actually mentioned in the page. Could you take a look at th
