How we miss those force 10 gusts and torrential downpours of a week ago!!!!
Despite the challenging conditions we had a ball and met some pretty fab people and aspiring potter’s.
Well done indeed to everybody who made it to the potting tent. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with you all. Such a lovely, family friendly event!
