I'm writing this blog from the comfort of my parents' house in Bedford, which is my first port of call, during a week of travelling about the country. It's a journey that will culminate in an adventure across the border to visit a certain red haired potter, with whom I'm sure most of you are very familiar. See clue below.....
It'll be great to see Alex and Hannah, I haven't seen either of them for a while. We're going to fire Hannah's wood kiln on Wednesday, which will be very exciting.
So I got everything finished off in the workshop this morning before we left - actually these particular ones were decorated yesterday as the video below will show.
Here are some I made earlier.
So on to the video.
I walked to work yesterday as Hil's car was in for repair and so she had mine. It was a bright, cold, winter's day, but absolutely beautiful. I need to walk more often. The Devon countryside is such an inspiration, whatever the weather.
Well that's all for now, I expect my next blog will be from the frozen north.
Happy weekend everybody.

Looked like a lovely day, Doug. Except for what I guess was an inadvertent step in a semi-frozen mud puddle. Say hello to the redheaded potter for us.
Have fun. Sounds like a great way to spend the week.
good to see you cleaning up too- try dampened sawdust on the floor- soaks dust up beautifully- I get huge bags from the local joiner, free!!
Wow nice pottery nd it seems u r having great fun
Have a great week away. Here's to a great firing at Hannah's....
You've made me feel guilty. My studio is past due for a good cleaning...
Thanks all, I'll carry your love to Scotland. Good idea Gwynneth, I know a guy locally who could help me out with that.
Anna, don't feel too guilty, it's taken me seven years! :-)
I'm loving these videos Doug! Reminds me of why I started reading your blog years ago :)
Thank you Tracey - I was watching Ang's video of our trip round Seagrove - what a great day that was :)
Funny! Nice stove too.
Hi Dixie
It is a splendid stove - I swapped it for a set of dinner plates - I think I got a good deal there, even though I really dislike making plates.
