Lovely pub, but get here early to avoid missing the evening meal. Officially stop serving at 8.30, but on quiet evenings will close up the kitchen early. Dog friendly in the bar and super staff. Advertisements
First Craft Fair
Today I had a lovely day with the ladies at Deene Village Hall craft fair. Everyone was so lovely, absolutely wonderful crafts with a fab attitude and smiles all around. It was also a busy day with lots of visitors, which included Bluebelle! Here are some pics I Heart Shabby Chic organised the fair and … Continue reading
The Andorra Adventure – Day 4
Today we got up, ready and away early, by which I mean a little before 10am. Destination Biarritz! We spent most of the day travelling and ended up a little south of Biarritz in Bodin. It’s a short, but steep, walk to the village and the beach is a healthy 10 minutes away.
The Andorra Adventure – Day 3
Day 3 is in La Rochelle, just down the road actually in Chatelaillon-Plage. Lovely village with mussel and oysters being the focus here. The campsite, Port Punay has a lovely English speaking Dutch lady on reception and she kindly obliged us with pitches facing each other for our stay. We went for a jaunt into … Continue reading
The Andorra Adventure – Day 2
Day 2 and we arrived at Honfleur relatively easily. The Aires in Honflueur is very nice, costing 10 euros per day, with some electric hook ups and a motor home station with fresh water, waste and toilet emptying facilities. We pitched next to each other and had a wander to the lovely central part of … Continue reading

I’ll tell you more about it when we get there. So mostly what happens with these things is that the boys all pile in vans … Continue reading

I met a lovely lady who is involved with The Stag Owners Club, who asked me if I could do something with the Stag Emblem. It’s quite a tricky shape and without a saw for cutting glass would not be something that I could do. So either I had to enclose something in the glass; … Continue reading
Spectrum glass – experiment number 1
I wasn’t sure about using a glass with another *COE, I thought it was a hassle it would get mixed up and it would be different schedules and generally was not really on complication that I wanted. But then I saw this pattern…and I had to have it… Obviously that means that all of the … Continue reading
Trinkets and Treasures
This week I have started using decals in my fused glass, there are more experiments in the kiln, but this one has turned out very well. This small trinket dish is 10cm x 10cm and I suppose I thought it might be a coaster, but couldn’t resist slumping it to a dish shape to make … Continue reading
Organics part deux
Here is the finished article that I showed you the special glass for here, I really like the effect that it has and wonder about a blue tint on the top to be like water…next time.
