Tea Set, By The Sea and Goodbyes
For many years, when we lived in Yorkshire, I worked for two weekends in June as the ‘cash and wrap’ lady for Jane and Ted Hamlyn’s selling weekend. As payment, I always received beautiful pieces of Jane Hamlyn’s salt glazed pottery and I have the loveliest collection of her pots and some of Ted’s paintings. One year, she made a tea set for a customer and then one for me for Grandchildren that we hoped to have but of whom there was as yet no sign. Now we have some and this week we have given the tea-set to B, LiveWire No 4. She has played with it every day and is delighted with it.

We had lunch today at The Blue Bar with B, LiveWire No 4 and her Mum, Daughter No 3, my beloved Brother and his wife. Here is B, looking for her little cousins on the beach.

We have said Goodbye to my kid Brother and my beloved SiL today who leave on the train tomorrow morning and I am very sad. We have had a brilliant time and very soon I will be able to focus on that. Right now I am sad.
A Visitor, Special Garden and Favourite Sweets
Opening the back door today, we found a very still Common Toad who had been hiding on the doorstep under the sill. The lovely Mr S took him carefully up the garden where we hope he is safe.

Our Boody Garden is looking good! I love the addition of the two pieces of a broken Jane Hamlyn pot that appears to have plants growing out of them. The ferns etc are all rooted in the Cornish wall. For an explanation of Boody Garden, please click on this link.
