Will, have you covered any new ground on your recent trip or have you limited yourself to the hallowed purveyors of the LL cloth club ( Fox and Teviotex ). One of the great values that a blog like yours has is the opportunity to enlighten the masses to the best of class producers. Why not take the time to visit a Taylor & Lodge, Bower & Roebuck, or Moxon. I for one would be less offended at the onerous markups on the cloth if it was from a purveyer that I had been enlightened to by ASW.
I loved the way he called Cumbria "The West of England lake country".
It's the Lake District and it's in the north west of England, which is my neck of the woods. The west of England encompasses Avon, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and it's at the other end of the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bah.............
