We went to a Royal Project for natural silk dyeing; a commercial silk yarn factory; a batik and tye-dye group and then shopping for silk at the Silk Culture Centre.
It took us into Central Thailand (drive 3-4 hours) and was wonderful apart from a crippling migraine on the way home. (Straight to bed: 12 hours sleep and I STILL woke with a headache.)
Here are some almost edible pictures of silk in various states of production:

Beautiful photos jj... I love them! (and definitely would like to eat them).
Sorry about the migraine honey --- take it easy and focus on lovely things (such as starting a new folder for December - I am so with you on that, and the fact that November gets neatly filed away; maybe I should get out more too?) and Skyros!
Beautiful colours. Did you buy any silk?
Hope the headache has gone. Migraines are a bugger:-(

Hi Pacha, Thank you. The silk was goooorgeous. Migraine is passing thankfully, just a slightly fragile feeling now. Yes, there's lots to look forward to, so I will concentrate on that. Get things done so that can be enjoyed.
Lane, thank you. I bought a rather hilarious sarong skirt thing. I can't decide if I'll wear it out or just for pyjamas! Husband liked it - or was he just being polite?
Headache is definitely waning now, thanks.

Oh I just love the feel of silk against the skin, so sensuous and those colours look lovely. Liked your xmassy photos too. Hope the migraine has gone.

I hope the migraine buggered off, you poor thing. Sending you hugs!
