I’m distraught that Thread Republic is closing and that Kirklees Council haven’t been able if offer it a new home in Huddersfield town centre. My last fabric run:
25m of fine wool, cotton and linen which would otherwise have gone to landfill.

Newspaper clipping from April 28, 1993. In Hirase Village (Gifu Prefecture) a tanuki and fox were found passed out together after drinking 2 cups of sake left out as an offering to the gods. A local snapped this photo several hours before the pair woke up and staggered back into the forest.
