This dish is destined for an exhibition in the Corineum Museum, Cirencester which will open in early September. My blogging has been a little rusty, our computer crashed- that sounds dramatic doesn’t it actually it gave out a pathetic ticking sort of fart and stopped.

- trip down memory lane age 6-7 I used to wonder into the w/shop and watch Bill Marshall and Scott Marshall throwing Scott had an amusing cartoon of a potter throwing such a big pot that he ended up inside it
- the firings i knew they went on all night- wouldn’t it be great to fire the kiln once more??
- boom boom in the thick foggy sea air. Pendeen fog horns
- Pendeen Light
The mechanism of the old lights was so beautiful all those prisms floating in a moat of mercury
We had a delicious very reasonably priced lunch at
THE GURNARD’S HEAD before scrambling down the cliff at Pendeen
