Request: Welsh Blankett (France Lynch, Chalford Hill) Expired - Long, long shot - in 2007 I took a blanket to a local charity shop in error. If anyone still has this precious blanket (it was my late fathers) I would be very grateful to bring it back into the family. It was an exceptionally heavy traditional welsh blanket in the colours and pattern in the photo. I have only just come across a photo of it which gave me hope that I might be able to track it down.
