My Blog Spot

I know! I haven't been around for a while, mainly because after a slow post-Christmas start, I just got going again when 'life' got in the way of pottery and blogging, as it has a habit of doing. And then, when I did finally get back to making things, I forgot to take pics and now its all in the kiln - so I'll show you when it comes out tomorrow.

So, a pottery-related post not being possible, what to say? In Yorkshire, there's an old saying "if tha's got nowt to say, then say nowt". (Translation - if you have nothing worth saying, please shut up). That's probably not the best motto for bloggers though. So, I thought I'd show you my Blog Spot - the spot where I blog - where I am sitting right now.


So what would Sherlock Holmes deduce about me from looking at all this? Well, firstly its about as close to a radiator as you can get - which has been very useful this winter! Hanging up there is a garland from last year's Latitude Festival. There is also a calendar made by my friend Julie. The lamp stands in one of the first pots I ever made (years ago). Some of my more arty photos are on the noticeboard, along with more useful info. The desk is an old-fashioned writing bureau situated in what we laughingly refer to as our study. We inherited it from Granny, who passed away last summer, so it has quite a bit of meaning and history attached to it. I have my laptop on the desk, and all my files and ceramics admin stuff in the drawers below it.


I love all the little nooks and crannies and tiny little drawers which are home to all sorts of handy bits and pieces. And on top of the bureau I have a glass jar filled with sea-glass and four very delicate sea anemones - mementos of my favourite beaches.

The students in my family manage to write whole dissertations lying horizontally on a sofa or bed with their laptop balanced precariously on their knees. I have tried to blog like this, but somehow just can't do it. Must be an age thing - or maybe my knees are just the wrong shape!

Where do you blog? What does your Blog Spot say about you?
Post a picture of your Blog Spot - even if it is your sofa!
