Note for next week

ABC Classic FM Keys to Music next week is on Dvorak's New World Symphony (apologies for lack of appropriate accents). Mmmm New World Symphony. And this week (Fri repeat) is Grieg's Peer Gynt.
And they are now playing Vaughn William - one of his Fantasia's but not Greensleeves. Tallis? Not as good as his "The Lark Ascending", but still gorgeous and besides, nothing is as good as The Lark... And I can't remember not being familiar with his Fantasia on Greensleeves.

[edit: Was Tallis]:)

Perpetual bubblewrap

And for later reference for victorian stuff (rather large)
The Project Gutenburg eBook of BEETON'S BOOK OF NEEDLEWORK

Since it implossibly to buy the right lace stuff, it may be easier to make it... Or at least a good form of filling in time on buses and in front of the TV.
