Week 13: 8 April 2019

Thank goodness the sun is still shining because it is nose down and time to start trying to match up the availability of the silk businesses and their staff, with the availability of the schools and the film company so we can get all the filmed interview dates agreed and shared.  By the end of the week I have three of the four silk companies sorted, one to go.  So time to tuck in a meeting with a couple of retired silk mill staff to pick their brains about when they first started in the mill, as well as a bit about the weavers cricket team including the man who played in his wellies because he didn’t like getting his feet wet when he had to retrieve the ball from the long grass!
