I have had a lot of comments about my last post so here is another example of an embroidered bag from the Sami people. My absolute essential viewing this Christmas will be "All Aboard! The Sleigh Ride" on BBC 4 at 7pm. A two hour sleigh journey from the point of view of the reindeer travelling across part of the Arctic Circle. There are no words but he is being herded by a couple of interestingly dressed Sami women. I have seen it before but can't wait! GB readers go and set your recording devices up now!
