13 MONTHS LATER!


I can't believe that it is well over a year since I wrote my last blog at this site. The site has been busier since I stopped  than it ever was while I was doing it. I've looked in occasionally. I quit because I found it difficult to keep up with and I had so little response for the amount of time it took me. Imagine my surprise to see it still going strong! I was silent for about four months and then found Facebook and established an educational page there. I could carry on there and get some degree of feedback. I did one or two postings per week, mainly on ceramic topics, and, almost every weekend, did a posting on the ANGLOJAPANADIAN garden at 'Chosin Pottery, an on going art work that I've been working on for  36 years.  Many people asked me if I would do a book on the garden and the work that has been inspired by it. I'm happy to say that I'm about 90% through doing an eBook on the garden. With any luck, it will be up and running by mid-December 2014. It is choc-a-bloc with gorgeous images of the internationally recognized garden that I designed and built, to give myself a permanent, but continually changing, source of ideas and inspiration. I will post the information when I have more details of publication date. Meanwhile, you can get further information on my Facebook Page. 
HAPPY READING!

    So happy to see you on Facebook, even though I don't feel the connections I do to blogs!
