It’s seems odd not to be including photos, but I’ve yet to figure it out from here (here being England) . I arrived safely and all has been frantic and wonderful as we prepared for the ‘Open Weekend’. All went very well and lots of pots were sold, but the highlight was seeing Doug and Hannah and Matt (I hope that this link is correct,Matt) and their friend whose name now escapes me walking up the driveway bearing gifts!!! It was wonderful and a little surreal to meet these folks who feel like old friends and yet be meeting them for the first time.
I now own a gorgeous Doug Fitch harvest jug (I am not worthy!) and a beautiful jug of Hannah McAndrews’ as well (eat your heart out, Anna Branner!). They were too kind to bring presents and I felt foolish not to be better prepared to reciprocate.
I look forward to more face time this weekend as Toff and I are off to a show at Rufford where they will also be. It was a little too chaotic and overwhelming for a proper chat yesterday, but I’m glad to report that blogs tell a lot about the writer and that they are as lovely you would glean from their writings and photos! (actually, I thought Doug was taller from his photos and Hannah is even prettier in person…that’s for you, Hollis!).
I am so happy to be here with all the great people I’ve gotten to know, some for more than 30 years, and I am reminded of how rich my life continues to be.
More to come…stay tuned.
