Busy is going to be a state of Mind

Quote that I have been chasing on this adventure

        1. Take as few risks as possible.

       #1 is too boring. #3 is too crazy. #2 is the only path that makes sense to me.

The factory is one that evolved over 200 hundred years from a flour mill to cotton mill Once inside we got to see the process for making cotton. With some of the looms still able to run. Two were running to meet the demand of the National Trust Shops they supplied. These were the small ones produce cotton about 1 yard wide. The Bobbin setter was for the line threading of the fabric.
