Oh, the Bishop of Bath and Wells…
We went to a medieval fiesta this weekend. I couldn’t make up my mind whether we were on the set of Blackadder or a scene from Midsomer Murders where someone gets killed by a javelin (don’t know if that has…
That’s Life & Buttons
A funny shaped radish 🙂 When not laughing uproariously at funny shaped vegetables, I’ve been making seaglass buttons. I’m practicing on bits of rough seaglass, which is just as well as it’s surprisingly difficult! I need to get the holes…
Next Project

Saint at Sea
It was the patron saint of Burela’s celebration at the weekend. Rather than parading the saint around the town, instead the saint was taken out to sea with fishing boats and little sailing craft following it. I think the Saint…
