A cream silk Cantonese hanging, predominantly embroidered in beige and brown silks with flowers and birds within a meandering floral border, 77cm x 246cm including fringe (O-3). This part of my collection is peripheral. Until I visited my son Denzil and his family in Hong Kong in 2005, travelling via Vietnam, I had never been to the Far East, only as far as Thailand, which I hated. The few things I have - from Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam and Borneo - were given to me, and mean nothing to me. I bought a few Chinese and Japanese embroideries because I liked them. See Embroidered Textiles, p. 20

Marie-France Vivier, formerly of the Musee des Arts d'Afrique et d'Oceanie and Musee Branly, Paris, and an expert on Maghrebi textiles, commented to Sheila, that Na-67 was a 'very rare rural piece - there are none in any museums.' I wandered around Morocco on buses in 1988, sometimes sleeping in the open. In those days tourists were terribly hassled by the locals (now forbidden by law) and I managed to avoid them until I got to Fez. Here I bought a rug I had no intention of buying. I was continuing on to Spain to stay with old friends who advised me on my finances and I knew they'd be annoyed with me for being so stupid. The next bus took me to Chefchaouan where I stopped in a cafe and wrote down exactly how it happened, to show them. They thought it was good and faxed it to the Sunday Times travel writing competition. I'd never heard of a fax machine and thought that was it when the documents came straight back out of the machine. The article won third prize out of more than 2500 entries (see The Sunday Times April 23rd 1989). The next year I won the Independent travel writing competition, and that launched me on my writing career.
