The ceramic fayre was busy and quite lovely. Roger gets much attention which he secretly likes
Lots of exhibits to see and we shared a small pizza and watched the world go by










Finally I bought these metal hens for the garden

    2. That seems like a good enough reason to me. Wouldn't life be boring if we always did the sensible thing? xx

  13. You should have got the fox as well! I like the hens.
    Nice seeing the work of friends there..Jon Barrett Danes' father was one of my tutors at college..and I used to work for David Frith after that.
    Did you see Euan Craig's beautiful work?
    I'm looking forward to seeing it at the end of this month at the biennial potters Beanfeast at Aberystwyth
    It is a lovely venue..I bet Roger enjoyed it as well!!

    1. I don’t remember seeing Craig’s work, but there were so many stalls , you go a little ceramic blind at the end

    1. Weathered metal looks the part in a garden almost another type of floral colour

  15. Also love the hens. My next-door-neighbours have just installed some hens plus cockerel, so we get clucking and rather feeble crowing most of the day. I love it.

  26. Looks like great fun and the hens are terrific! We had a wonderful No Kings protest in my city and it was really great to see a huge turnout in nice weather. It's nice to march with others that think the way I think and feel the support of so many.
