Painting A Plate In Cromer

It was chucking it down in Cromer on Wednesday: sharp spikes of rain, whipping against our faces, blown by a relentlessly icy wind. We looked at the crashing grey sea and walked down the grim streets. The little pottery café looked warm and wind-free. A painting afternoon beckoned.

Offsprog One went on a mushroom walk at the weekend, and she decorated her mug with various different varieties of toadstool. I painted my Green Goddess onto a plate, or a simplified version of her. She will arrive fired in the post in a couple of weeks time, I believe. I wish I hadn't tried to do strings. Clumsy of me, but it's hard to know when you're finished.

Yesterday, we walked on the beach and marvelled at the stories the stones told us.
