Belated Happy New Years to all ㊗️
Looking forward to going to Japan for first time in 10 years.
Shall be gorging ourselves on the endless variety of great food, feasting our eyes on temples and gardens and soaking away all troubles in endless baths!

JAPAN Trip vol.1
Toji, where I first met my future husband over three decades ago! Looking stunning, beautifully lit ✨
The New Year fire at the shrine near my parents’ house 🔥
With Mum — and my dad with @dalethomas_pottery
The famous old cedar trees at the front of Eiheiji, a Zen temple founded by Dōgen Zenji in the 11th century.
It was one of my dreams to visit this ancient Zen temple and experience zazen (meditation) and morning prayer there… though I didn’t realise that meant getting up at 4 in the morning!
A lovely stay at Hakujukan 🙏✨

She who has green fingers!
Last week, under the warm sun, she harvested marvellous red celery from her polytunnel.
They, among many others, are growing in abundance in there… truly a beautiful sight!

It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to welcome and meet art & craft lovers and catch up with fellow makers and artists.
We will be open everyday (excluding Monday and Friday), from 10am to 4:30pm.
Come along to browse some hand made pottery while having steaming cup of tea.
Looking forward to welcoming you all!

The charm and character of the katakuchi form enhances the simplest of occasions.
We have to eat every day so why not make the most of it!

Having a lunch in the garden…, at last!
Two dinner plates which came from the last firing.
All the greens from Yoshi’s poly tunnel, and our bantam hens started laying little eggs again… thank you!🙏
