Potfest in the Park...and Penrith

 They, potters and sculptors, in 108 stands,  set up on a roasting hot Friday....we arrived on a sodden Saturday!

 Live music!

 Hutton-in-the-Forest, on whose grounds potfest is held

 it rained...then it rained even heavier

 we walked out of our digs to find supper

 and returned like two drowned rats!

 Sunday was fine and sunny, so we took a morning stroll first

 and coffee of course!

 Not the only closed and for sale old inn, but a special one

 and we headed for the walled garden and forest walk before it decided to rain again!

Much inspiration,meeting old friends and new, meeting people "in the round" instead of online...
Some much needed advice and encouragement for finishing the kiln flue at home...

Before heading home...and luckily choosing a back road after Gretna, past the Devil's Porridge Museum,where we saw these...

just leaving for home...
