Day out in a tin overcoat

A drizzly day all day...down to see Phil at the Gallery in Lauriston for good coffee and cheese scones with ginger jam..and good craic.

Nine miles over the hill towards the sea to Gatehouse of Fleet..

And lunch....or rather all day veggie breakfast....at the Iron Brew....a laundry with café!  It included fried eggs on a sweetcorn fritters which I'd only ever had before in NZ....with avo on the side....the Scottish touch being a Tattie scone!!

Walking back down the high street...

I thought John GG would like this one....

I used to work with a Jardine in Porthmadog pottery...and of course there is "Bodyline".....

A slightly damp one of the town hall

And NCR 7

At the Mill on the Fleet

There was also a secondhand book emporium on the top floor....talk about a sugar addict in a sweetie shop....but I resisted....

 The rain was steadily getting heavier...so no more walking...a quick shop for essentials in Castle Douglas Co-op and then steadily home.

It is good having Bro here..a helping hand with some things, helpful suggestions with others...

Research on getting my website up and running again is carrying on.

We need to find the simplest and easiest and safest way of having sales from my website...I will have to talk to other potters....

And of course....get drawing and making...pots and prints....

Wandering

 We had a short wander around the centre of Ayr today. 

It is rather depressing..all those lovely buildings, neglected, closed and boarded up shops...but many towns are going the same way.

The oldest house at the corner of the Sandgate and Cathcart Street 

I'm  not sure about the chair...but it looks like someone had fun making it!

Brother bought me a present...and now I can use the TV as a monitor screen...so we have been watching informative things on U tube.....and Simon's Cat...😎

We have been thinking of how to break the Log Jam of stuff and work here...where to begin.

Remember the small game with 9 spaces and 8 tiles that you shuffled around to make a picture? Just imagine it with 9 tiles.....
