Continuing on from earlier posts about the conservation work we undertook on the Reception of an Embassy tapestry from Powis Castle here is the fourth in a series of bulletins we sent to the property. This bulletin dates from June 2014. All the new warps inserted across the long vertical cut which runs the full height of the tapestry.

400 years of growing our own. I know I have been away for a long time. Still all of us down the Horse end continue to be optimistic. We had our first carriage drive of the season last week and the troops are getting back into working mode. Lots of long-reining and sledging and some practise carriage rides. The horses seem happy to be back at work after the boredom and restrictions of winter.
