Oui monsieur deux chats etc.<BR/><BR/>Monsieur Douglas, the jug is pushed to the limit. I'm really inspired by old nineteenth century Fremington and Lakes 'pitchers', where the clay is stretched to its maximum, I love those kind of characteristics in a pot - a record of the simple marks of making - keeping it fresh. It's also my little double fingered gesture towards the sanitised industrial whitewares of Stoke on Trent.<BR/><BR/>Hannah, sadly I don't have the space for long-seasoned neat piles of wood, in my dreams, although my woodshed is still half full of lovely dry skinny softwood that I stacked a few weeks ago. The hardwood is generally neatly stacked in the back of an Audi estate for the few hours it takes until it's all burned. However, my plan for the late spring is to build a much bigger and more efficient woodshed where I can keep loads and loads of wood for ages and scavenge every old pallet from every skip in Mid Devon. Ah, wood kilns, no sleep for hours, burned kneecaps and black snot. My mate Marky Mark burned himself when we were firing last night - on a microwave curry, ha ha. <BR/><BR/>Have a great time Ron, vive les Sex Pistols et la magnifiique Madame Hamlyn.

The big pot with the slip, I'd call a bottle and the one for my dad I'd call a jug although I think you'd call it a pitcher, which is an expression used here too. The big bottle is based on old cider jars which adds an extra element of confusion. It's all a bit too complicated, maybe we should all try communicating in French? Looking forward to that mug, cup, can.doug Fitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413690733976558551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-73356521386911876062008-03-06T15:01:00.000+00:002008-03-06T15:01:00.000+00:00Way to go!

And what about the pot for your father, is that a pitcher or a jug?
