I love this. Not the bad neck, of course.

Ahahaha! It's a shame they got rid of the animals. I used to love watching them walk the llamas and alpacas past the workshop to put them to bed. It's Cornwall, nothing's getting done any time soon. It'll still be a shitheap when you come back, don't you worry.

No pressure. I just didn't want you to think we'd ignored the fact you were up the road. Trethorne is getting an upgrade-the chap that owns it has finally got control of it from his mum, who was adamant about no upgrades, so it's been stuck in the 80s, since the, er, 80s. It might be posh next time.

Miffed I didn't mention it now. Keep it in mind for next visit, cos it's a decent stop off on the way home too.

Yes, worth a visit, they've always got something or other on. It's in Lifton on the way into Cornwall on the A30 - a couple of miles from Launceston. It's a farm shop but they have animals and depending on the season, different trails and PYO. It was pumpkins, this past few weeks, of course.

The Codfather isn't what it was. We'd have given you some recommendations with pleasure. If you're nearby next time, give us a shout if you feel like saying hello. Equally, totally understand you might want some peace and quiet with no 'peopling' at all.

You wouldn't have bothered us. We were in most days last week but we only got back from my mum's yday. Did you take the kids to Strawberry Fields? So few people stop in this bit for their hols, I just assumed you were off somewhere further west. Did you have a nice time in spite of the shit weather?

I wish I'd known you were going, we'd have warned you off it, first of all. I'd have gone in today to at least say hello.

What? No! When? I didn't realise you were staying nearby. I thought you were stopping on the way to somewhere else. Mind, we've been in the Mids most of the week.

I love this! Did you have a nice time?

Is that prickly pear fruit? They're beautiful! Imagine making some of those in glass.

But do cats really use them? Well let’s ask some of my feline customers … 🧵
Gretchen and Amy say yes…

I'll teach you how to alleviate anxiety & lift your mood by re-introducing creative activity into your weekly routine.
I've appeared on BBC Autumnwatch taught workshops on BBC Countryfile & at the Victoria & Albert & Bronte Parsonage museums & my bio's in the photos below:

Just remembered that I signed up for your silver clay course in 2022, and then promptly forgot all about it, because ADHD and stress, but also just useless. By some miracle, I've managed to log in to my account and see all the resources are there for me to work through. This is very exciting.

You're so clever. This is a thing of true beauty.

This is an excellent idea. You're not just a pretty face, Leo. ACH will be thrilled.

Financial necessity forces me to go on Vinted to sell my wares. I'm going to be reminded of the many reasons I avoid people at all costs, aren't I? I'm also going to be required to fucking iron. I haven't ironed anything since 2003.

I love this so much

Shucks.I'm glad you like them ❤️

Ahahaha! Good point. There's nothing in the shop yet though. We've got to polish a ton of stuff to make it presentable first.

Ah, thank you. They are very shiny.

Thank you! Just got to stand and polish them now.

Haha!

I dunno really, I shove things together and hope for the best! Kind of my approach to most things. Haha!

Vienna is well worth it - close enough to Budapest and Bratislava to visit in the same trip. The only good thing, however, about the train journey was getting to meet @werkoderko.bsky.social on the journey home, and eating the many lovely things she'd prepared for us to eat on our way back.

I do love the colours you can achieve - it's the result of layering different coloured transparent glass, sparkly glass and opaque glass. It's such a nice effect.

A selection of around 30 square and rectangular glass cabochons of varying sizes (between 5 and 10/15 cm). They are made with various fusible types of glass, each including an element of dichroic glass, which has a special textured coating giving it a reflective 'foiled' appearance, with multi-faceted colours ranging from pinks and lilacs, to blues and silvers. The colours of the cabochons are mainly icy blues, but there are some that are pink and purple, as well as emerald green. The cabochons have different patterns according to the type of dichroic glass that has been used - some patterns look like fish scales and some look like flowers, bubbles, other patterns look like crinkled paper or foil.

In an uncharacteristic turn of events, I'm sorting out Christmas stock early (for me - apparently 'the normals' do this sort of thing months in advance). Behold, my shiny trinkets. Long, tedious hours at the saw and diamond polisher await as I get these ready to be made into necklaces.

I love these guys! They're adorable.

Awe, yes! So many different hues and so soothing.
