Pottery painting

This morning I fed the birds and went and got some shopping early. No grocery delivery this week as Tina was away. Did a couple of chores and then Darren drove me up to Freeport as the pottery painting shop was reopening under new management, Caroline, the new lady is a local artist, I went to one of her taster sessions some time ago to make bath bombs. She is hoping to have other sessions as well as pottery, including some well being ones.
I had hoped the Loch Ness monster models had arrived, but sadly not yet, so I opted for a fairy house tea light holder. One picture when I had done the first main coat and a couple when I had finished.
Hopefully it will be much brighter and shiny when ai get it back in two to three weeks. A few of the other items they have on the shelves.
Darren didn’t stay to paint so I was catching the bus home. Went into the cafe for a sausage roll and drink before heading for the bus. I then only had a few minutes to raced off as best I could. Once on the bus I realised that ai hadn’t got my phone, hoping that ai had left it on the table in my hurry! So rang the bell to stop the bus at the first bus stop and then Had to walk all the way back, so more exercise than I had intended. They said I had left my phone when I go to the cafe, but they had taken it up to reception at the far end of Freeport! So even more unscheduled walking there and back down again. Then had time to kill as the buses are hourly so had another drink, things time making sure the phone was on my person! Fairly shattered by the time I was home so not a lot more activity today. Did try to do a bit to the jigsaw!
Clocks go back tonight, and I think we are planning to go to the boot sale in the morning.

  1. Quite an eventful day for you then! I know you were looking forward to the pottery reopening, so I’m glad you made it there. Looking at some of the other items they have there I’m sure you’ll be revisiting regularly. The tea light holder is really nice and I look forward to seeing it once it’s been fired. They always look so different.
    What is it with you and phones 😊 The times you “mislay” or “lose” them are totting up. It’s really good news you got this one back though. Shame about all the extra rushing around and extra steps, but good you didn’t have the rigmarole of getting a new one! Definitely need to get you a chain to attach it to your wrist 😂

  2. There are some good items at the pottery painting studio, but they are not cheap. Will definitely be painting a Nessie when they arrive. I was painting for two hours and a lady from the local paper took some photos, so you never know, may be in print!
