Ah, blogger is in backwards mode today!
Or not....!!
A good day seeing some carrying on, others setting up. Meeting old friends, making new ones..some of whom then turned out to have friends in common...and we are talking worldwide!!
Then down to the town centre with daughter and family to watch the British Cycling women's criterium championship..
1.6km round the town centre, hills, descents, corners, all different surfaces...and hard and fast! I only stayed to watch the women, as the men started at 8pm...for an hour's racing...and it is 40 minutes walk back up the hill from the seafront!!
We started watching from the library steps...this is the local cat who visits the library regularly
Hoping to get out of the rain! Which thankfully didn't last long
And a Scottish winner in both races!!
Wow. What a great day, even in the rain!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day!
ReplyDeleteThis post goes from sticks of wood (I wonder how many were crated in to the kilns) to rainy streets with swooshing bikes! Loved seeing blogger Euan Craig's set-up...and I know he uses a lot of wood! Just thinking of them bringing in all the fire bricks for the kilns...amazing! Hope there will be time for some kiln openings too, but I don't know how long the fesitval lasts.
ReplyDeleteEuan actually doesn't use a lot of wood...and his 0.38 cubic metre kiln was up to 1300⁰C in about 11 hours. His kiln at home is a cubic metre.
DeleteI should think you'd be in your element -- pottery AND cycling! It sounds like a fantastic day (apart from the rain!)

ReplyDeleteWell done to the Scottish contingent.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun but full on day.
You did a lot in one day. I've never had anything to do with ceramics of bike racing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like alot going on there, I can understand why you went for a look or 2.
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you today after reading your blog for many years. Widge
ReplyDeleteGood to meet you too
DeleteThe festival brings together a large group of very talented ceramics enthusiasts. Sharing time with your friends and peers makes a great day. Add to that the cycling and it is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI love that shop front with the yellow door and tiles. Is the library cat allowed inside?
ReplyDeleteYes and has been written about in the local paper
DeleteGo Scotland! What a day you had. The race looks very exciting.
