Happy New Year and welcome to the first of the monthly Travels with Textiles, the podcast just for Friends of Haptic & Hue. Every month Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor will bring you the stories we love, but somehow never find a place in the longer podcast. We talk about what happens behind the scenes, how we find stories, or how stories sometimes find us. In this first episode listen to an interesting musical follow-up to the podcast about Mary Queen of Scots, come with us behind the scenes at Mount Vernon, George Washington's home in Virginia, and find out about a new book to read and a textile word of the month, as well as a look ahead to Season Five of the main Haptic & Hue podcast, which has just started.
