Dear All, I'd like to appeal _already_ for articles and items (or even ideas) for the February issue of Rustic! For personal reasons I need to put the bulk of the issue together before Christmas as I will not be able to work on it further until mid-February. So... if you have anything you'd like to say about the museum, this year's events* or anything else rural history related please could you let me have it as soon as possible. You can email me your submission, put it on a CD or memory stick or good old-fashioned paper and pencil! Any photographs or drawings would also be very welcome. I look forward to receiving plenty of post in the next couple of weeks, thanks! * On the subject of events, we've just finished the main event season on a very high note. Today was a gloriously sunny, if chilly day, and over 140 Land Rovers and their occupants turned up at the museum from 7.45am! Plenty of visitors turned up to see them and I estimate we had over 500 people on site. This event looks set to grow and grow and there were many good comments heard.
