Hi Jane et al
Thank you for this very well written and informative report which I'm sure will
be of interest to many who are not able to travel to Bath.
I think it would be a good idea to send this to the Museum so that they are
aware of the opinion of customers. It is probably too late for th

Just back from Bath, a 70 mile, 2 hour journey each way, so rather
tired. But I don’t remember seeing any comment here on the ‘Lace in

Dear Jerry,
The best way to find out more about the Lace in Fashion exhibition on Bath is
to GOOGLE. There are various reviews etc. and the images are beautiful.

There should be someone with public relations experience telling us on a
regular basis what is happening in the U.K. that has a lace connection.
