She swims every day, in the depths of winter with snow on the ground to now.
Early morning on a deserted beach, I wander looking for large stones to put into my water feature. That close to the sea and you want more water? For the birds, not me. My bowl made by a very dear potter friend Chris, seems so right in the garden with its shell edge. It needs a large stone for the sparrows to feel safe to bathe.
Calm, coolish and quiet this is the best time to be abroad with just the lady swimmer, me and a detectorist. Sitting on the huge granite sea defence stones I sat with a lap full of treasures. A can of Stella and a choc ice wrapper by my side. Not my breakfast, just litter I had picked up along the way. With my eyes full of the perfect scene, I thought it is not half bad living here...
Wandering along the shore line I soon discovered the reason behind the change of swimming gear. The warm weather has brought not so welcome visitors...
jelly fish.
Oh, I do like that bird bath bowl.
ReplyDeleteI've booked in to a nine week pottery course next year - maybe something like that could be a project. I'm sure the birds wouldn't mind the many imperfections!
It is a coil pot. I went to Chris’ pottery glasses with lots of high flown arty-farty ideas. It won’t surprise you to know I was blooming hopeless... made a lasting friend though.
ReplyDeleteThe water is green due to my recycling project.
