A fishy tale and welcome back to an old friend!

I walked up to Freeport this morning, wore a hat and gloves as it was bright out but very cold. On my way down to the pottery I saw that the plastic nativity was back, now with only one animal so they made a smaller stable! It is not yet accompanied with the hymns which always makes me smile. I look forward to its return each year.
Rob told me the koi carp had been glazed and fired, which I made todays sketch while waiting for Caroline to arrive as she wanted us to do some clay work. I didn’t take photos of the carp until I got home, so sketch first!
I got two pairs of earrings bought for me today, reindeers from Caroline and then water melons from one of the ladies at the banking hub.
Caroline gave me a lift home after we had spent a couple of hours making items for Christmas. I was able to give her the cake so one less filling the kitchen. I did pop round to see Sher and Haley to let them know their cakes were ready for collection.
Did then take photos of the koi carp, pleased how it turned out.
Nothing else but doing a few chores and now have a poorly cat on my lap. Her first cuddle today.

  1. Yayyyy, the nativity returns 🙂 It doesn’t look quite so naff this year. At least there’s still one sheep. That could be four legs of lamb by next year 😂
    The sketch of the carp looks really good. I’ve not scrolled down enough yet to see the pic of the actual finished article. I hope it’s there! Just scrolled down and looked. It’s turned out really well. The colours are perfect for it, and just the right amount. I imagine you’re extremely pleased with it.
    The earrings are perfect for you, and I think it’s lovely that the lady in the hub bought you some after admiring all your others. You’re the famous earring lady of Hornsea 😊

  2. I am pleased with the carp, sometimes ‘less is more’ as it would have been easy to keep on painting because is it a big expensive piece.
    Think I stopped at the right time.
    Fame at last as the earring lady!
