A Whole Different World
How different the countryside looks with autumn working hard to shepherd winter in, those bright sunny mornings replaced with mist over the flat lands and that wonderful golden carpet that autumn treats us to covers paths and lane floors everywhere, taking our thoughts back to the days of no traffic and horse drawn carts traveling under oak arches.
To imagine those journeys by foot to the local market taking the good part of a day, passing banks of wild herbs and dew covered meadow, no warm car and weather proof coats to make life so easy, such a different life unless you were highborn but still no comforts of today.
I hope you all had a great weekend with bonfire night being enjoyed by all. Here the rain held off for a few hours, long enough for one of the bright spark neighbours to let off a volley of huge mortar type rockets right next to my garden, needless to say we sat holding three terrified dogs for half hour trying to relax them, why do some have to go that little bit further ?
Yesterday was a great day for beads, I spent the day making pandora style beads and focals for ebay so this beadmaker was happy and the last couple of hours were passed in the ceramic room throwing bowls and finishing off some pendants. Later today I hope to throw a couple more small pieces as I want to get some ready to list at the end of the month, to be honest I think I'll crap myself when I do as it's all new to me and I'm not sure what feedback they will get, but hey, it was the same when I listed my first lampwork beads and ceramic beads so fingers crossed it will turn out ok and after all if I find just one person who likes my pottery then that's enough to make me happy.
Ok I need to get on as cuppa time over and there is a lot to do, hope you all enjoy your day and if you get time get out there and walk through those carpets of golden leaves.
