SILKEN SNIPPETS
In his talk to the 56th AGM of The Ipswich Society, John Lyall the architect of the Tolly Cobbold Cliff Brewery restoration project confirmed that some space would, in all probability, be made available to The Cobbold Family History Trust.
The Trust recently received the following email from the orient:
“We would like to order the dried nut from your company. Please send the latest catalog and price list. Hoping a nice cooperation with you”
We replied to the effect that although the nut was indeed (old &) dried, I was not yet for sale!
