Yesterday we had a visitor in our garden. A female fox who seemed to have no fear whatsoever. Where we live in Cornwall there is plenty of wildlife around but we seldom catch a glimpse of a fox. Normally they are very shy and would disappear at the smell let alone sight of a human. This female was very bold, she clearly has a litter and must be very hungry to be scavenging in broad daylight. She spent about 10 minutes with me and the boys looking for scraps to eat and as you can see, having a very close look at us.

Although Sunday’s weather was a bit wet, we decided that a walk was still in order. The coastline round here is stunning whatever the weather (apart from when it’s foggy and you can’t see it). We often do a short circuit which takes us out from Morwenstow church , past Hawker’s hut and then follows the path back along Tidna chute. It also has the advantage of starting and finishing at the Bush Inn.

We have recently become members of the prestigious Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA) in London. Originally founded in 1948, they have been representing contemporary Bitish makers ever since. They have a large retail gallery on Percy Street in London where I will be exhibiting work later in the year. As part of the application process I had to take work down to show them. As we are currently low on stock we took my desk and chair from home, explaining that these were pieces in daily use in a busy houshold. It was commented that it was nice to see how well the pieces stood up over time and how beautifully the wood had aged.

Why is the plank of wood you need always at the bottom of the wood stack?

I have spent the last few days sorting out the workshop. With the help of some new shelving and storage I have finally found homes for the numerous little odds and sods which ‘may come in useful’ some day. Many of the sods were deemed to be of absolutely no use what-so-ever and have been filed in the bin. Here are a couple of pics of the workshop. They are in black and white as the shelving is alarmingly orange and I haven’t quite come to terms with it.
