Many Burford buildings were rebuilt in the 16th and 17th century, and most of B.O.A. is classic three-gabled 17th century.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-49455481373558798942016-04-09T04:34:52.378-07:002016-04-09T04:34:52.378-07:00Yes - it beats brutalism any day.Yes - it beats brutalism any day.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-1841230291292107072016-04-09T04:34:21.959-07:002016-04-09T04:34:21.959-07:00Oh yes, dinner was good, as was the breakfast.

Burford was the first town that we once drove through when visiting the Cotswolds, and I said to my husband: "We will be leaving some $$$ here!" It wasn't too bad, though, I just bought an old tea caddy, that was it. It's so interesting about the building with the big green doors and its inhabitants. I can't even picture them, but I love them already! Ahhhhh, you do live in a pretty part of the world.

I used to weave on a 44" loom, which is close to the extension most weavers can get to throw, catch and set up the shuttle for the next throw. I think broad looms begin at about 60", and take two people to operate. Linda has a 100" loom that has two sets of treadles so that two weavers can operate it.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-58123472585917963052016-04-08T11:36:18.787-07:002016-04-08T11:36:18.787-07:00I suppose living in a beautiful old village is the...I suppose living in a beautiful old village is the dream of many.
