Just returned from the weaving weekend at Bradford.   Enjoyed a visit to Moon's in Guisely to look at the processes going on in the mill there.

1. Spinning at Moon's of Guisely

The visit, particulary the smells and the noise reminded me of the village of Walkerburn in Peeblesshire where I grew up. The mill was originally owned by Henry Ballantyne and Sons.

The village no longer smells of lanolin or the dye tanks.  There is an eerie silence where once the noise of looms was a constant.
