I have been away too long....

and I do apologise, but sometimes life and work just  take over and finding time to write seems to evade me. This is a catch up. Christmas came and was delightful,  I was fortunate to share the company of all my family for almost a week. The house was bustling with people and a small child and a dog and cat who refused to be left out of the entertainment!  Presents unwrapped and put away , I  now treasure some lovely memories. New Year bought snow and a very cold spell, followed swiftly by colds and coughs. As a maker with Gallery obligations work has still been undertaken however quiet times have found me sitting and recovering .  Work is in progress for Daphne's glove and kiln has been firing the story slowly unfolds and I cant wait to begin the stitching. Teapots are drying and cups and saucers  sit waiting to be glazed,  Summer is not to far off and work has to be ready for photographs and details. Lola is now waiting patiently by the door and I am hoping you will forgive me but we have to go over the hill , along the hedgerow, past the pond before coming home to work...its nice to be back and I will speak soon...
