I woke up this morning and checked my email to find that I had received a letter from the super nice folks in Yeovil England. (where this machine was made and used in the 1800's)
"An amazing coincidence but I was talking to a colleague who works for South Somerset District Council and who is interested in history and I told her about your James Moffat sewing machine. It turns out her mother is the granddaughter of James Moffat and would like to write to you if possible, she doesn’t do e-mail I’m afraid. She is 88 and with it as we say and she has a lot of stories about the shop as I believe they used to live above it."
Well, duhhh! I sent me address already and because of the time difference Clare was able to reply already the the address is now passed on. I should be receiving a letter in a week or two!
What are the odds....?
