TAYVALLICH

Group photo.

View from our patio. ( our jetty )

Just had the most fantastic week in Tayvallich with a lovely bunch of friends. Such a beautiful spot as you will see by some of these photos. We rented 3 cottages on the edge of the harbour with private jetty for our 8 Wayfarers. The views from each cottage were spectacular.

Southwell Folk Festival

Leah chilling out.

A brilliant advert for the festival.Just love this bit for the kids.

Mouldy slabs

Had 2 very large slabs of clay  I'd rolled out about 2 months ago and wrapped up well, totally forgot about them. Found them covered in the most beautiful  black  mould pattern from the cloth it was wrapped in, wish I could get the same effect with oxides. I'll have a play when they are biscuit fired.

NTU Degree Show...

Rosseta, Joyce and Jude.

 Had a great evening amongst some very colourful characters showing the culmination of their 3 years at uni....... loads of innovative and exciting pieces...though being shown around the ceramics department by Jude and seeing the  students work stations was an added bonus.  Thanks Jude !

Farnham weekend..

      Leahs birthday weekend at her school in Farnham, she put on a lovely Bar-B-Q and loads of her old friends from school turned up and stayed over, we all had a great weekend. We also got to meet Scott an Australian relation who is living in London and cycled 60 kilometres to farnham to the party.

                              
    We also met Jamie  who is really lovely and a fantastic pianist/ musician so we had plenty of music over the weekend in fact everyone seemed to be playing an instrument by the end of the night even Gareth who played the triangle.!
