I wish I wasn't related to some of the people I am related to! Whereabouts in the UK do your "Wrights" hail from? The skills haven't been passed down the generations, because neither of the brothers nor my Dad are any good at woodwork! There were a lot of windmills in Norfolk, so maybe that fact is correct! I like windmills - we have a working one here in Anglesey - so maybe it's in the DNA! Best wishes, Carolyn Wright Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
