Rubber rings the changes

Article Abstract:

Rubber is becoming an increasingly popular material for consumer goods in the UK. There is growing awareness that rubber is sustainable, organic and biodegradable, thus fitting in very well with the trend in fashion towards natural products. Slough Rubber Co, one of only four small dipping plants left in the UK, is working with designers on a range of new consumer products in rubber, including an inflatable bicycle saddle and a humane jockey's whip. The work of young designers seems to be strongly influenced by fetishism, especially in fashion.

Eleanor Harper

Article Abstract:

Eleanor Harper was a nurse who became a sheep farmer in Wales, taking on a 1,100 acre farm on a mountain in a harsh climate in an area where Welsh is the first language. She started farming in 1990 and was helped by neighbors and her son. She appeared in TV documentaries, and became the Welsh Highland Shepherd Council's president. Her daughter married a Scottish sheep famer, and they were installed in her Welsh farm prior to her death. She died of breast cancer at her farm, as she had predicted.
