Duston Family Fun Day was Fab!
|
What a wonderful day we had at Duston! The playing fields behind The Cottage were transformed into a hustly bustly event - it was great fun and a credit to the council who organised it all. There were so many happy people and we were entertained all day with live music and acts. I don't know why my photo shows grey skies - it was blisteringly hot - proper ice cream weather!

New kiln day!!!
|
'The shed' as we affectionally call it, is beginning to look a little like a studio. My new kiln (yet to be named) arrived on Saturday and it's already whirring away on its first firing. I'm super-excited to transform this former workshed into my new creative kiln room!

We are marathon runners!
|
Paris Marathon was vraiment fantastique! 🎉 I ran with youngest daughter Lizzie and friend Clare (and 57,000 other runners) and we made the most of every single minute and our smiling cheek muscles ache **almost** as much as our legs today. The support was amazing all the way and there were timpani bands, jazz bands and rock singers encouraging us to run and dance at the same time - and we did 😁 The route was beautiful and there were light shows and banners in the tunnels and locals cheering us on with glasses of beer! We are marathon runners!!! 💪🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
