Before you read on, for some unknown reason the date stamp on my camera reset to the original date and I did not notice until this evening it is from the 28/12/2007 onwards.

Today was a great day we returned to the Pottery Village with some friends of Neil's who are now mine, Husband Allen and wife Emmie, their son Evan, her sister Phoebe and her son Tino plus another friend Daniel, The two young guys think I look like Father Christmas and they are great pleasure to be with. We spent quite a time in a pottery making our own pottery myself a Coffee Mug, Emmi painted her own mug, Neil made two little animal statues a dragon and a rabbit, most of the things can be seen in the following picturesTino.
