This is true, she goes about three times a year, and runs it online the rest of the time.
I would still rather buy from her, as the goods Anne comes back with are made in small units in Tibet, not large factories belching out smog in China, so on balance I would say a much smaller carbon footprint than the cut price Chinese tat in the tat in the supermarkets.
I would buy British if I could we do also have one shop selling cloths made locally from alpacas that graze or our lovely Pennine hills, and i do occasionally treat myself to something from there, but it is very pricey.
But the British rag trade was killed in the 80s, when I had to leave it.
