Just Wild !

The Gods Must Be Angry

   What have we done to deserve this weather, some of the wildest winds I've seen here in East Anglia and so dark with it, in the wind we have the rain and the noise is so magical, what a morning ! Everywhere you look trees dance and bend to a back drop of dark dark clouds rushing over heading off towards the coast, oh how I wish I was standing on a beach right now watching the sea and dark sky fighting it out, feeling the full power of mother nature, but my barn calls me with it's warm seat next to the kiln and the big window from which I can watch this wild morning, a morning still dark.
   A busy day ahead with beads to make and more of that bead mountain to sort, I'm just hoping we don't get a power cut, already at 6.30 this morning we had the first, so lets hope the winds calm and the power lines here in the flat lands keep standing, fingers crossed. At least if we have no power I can still work on my wheel in the clay room, see I guess the old kick wheel does still come in handy !
   I can't believe what I just saw, still the swans are arriving over on the barley field, a group of four just flew over our cottage heading for their favourite spot making that wonderful honking call as they pass. The rest of the bird life here is hidden from the wind, the food stations swing like rag dolls from their poles.
   I'm hoping the pottery suppliers got my order this morning and soon the raw materials will arrive for my glaze mixes, then the real fun begins and no doubt the bad language also !
   Ok, I better get off to the barn, the kiln will be up to temperature now and my flame is calling, I hope you all enjoy the wild weather and if it's your first day back to work then I hope it goes well and the day is quick for you, we all know that "going back to work" feeling and it's not the best feeling in the world.
