TRAMA Textiles was born out of the most desperate and devastating times of the Civil War in Guatemala when most of the men -- grandfathers, fathers, brothers, and sons, disappeared, and the women were forced to find a way to survive and support their households and communities.
Today, the 100% worker-owned association, comprising of over 400 weavers from the five regions in the western highlands and from 17 weaving cooperatives, proudly continue the ancient textile art of backstrap weaving that has sustained their culture and communities for over 1,500 years. TRAMA enables the women to produce high quality fair-trade textile goods for national and international markets.
Shot entirely in Guatemala, from the association's retail shop and weaving school in Quetzaltenango to the women's homes in the western highlands, TRAMA Textiles: Tejiendo la Vida de Guatemala presents its viewers with an intimate look at the women's lives, their craft, and a chance to hear their stories in their own words.
Read more about TRAMA here and learn how you can support the women and their families.

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their roles of producing honey and beeswax and pollination. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine recognized families, though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

On the 5th April 2020 Class 66/5 no. 66532 'P&O Nedlloyd Atlas' passes Bishopsteignton with a Liskeard to Fairwater Yard empty rail train returning from overnight engineering work.
Thanks to the driver for the cheery hoot to the girls. They were nearly as pleased about about that as finding a football washed up by the tide. 'P&O Nedlloyd' is certainly a name from the past as it hasn't existed since 2005!
