"ook?!": away day!

away day!

I unpacked the kiln first thing this morning, and re-packed a glaze firing...but instead of lighting the kiln, I had a day off!

I spent the day in the Abergavenny garden with friends, weeding, lifting (and washing) the last of the parsnips and planting onion setts. It has been a glorious day spent well in good company and a meal shared as the afternoon turned a little chilly.

My grandfather used to have an allotment on Nantcarn Road and I am currently in the middle of writing about him. Your pictures have brought lots of lovely memories back to me, thank you :)
