loved Pottery Throwdown this series some very talented people out there .... the final was a close call but a very deserving winner. #PotteryThrowdown #GreatPotteryThrowdown

A Sunday morning wander around Trentham in the sunshine. #trenthamgardens #trenthamestate #sundaywalks

Mixing it up this morning cheese and beans oatcakes! Looks like they are busy working on the railway #Saturdaybreakfast #Apedale #steamtrains #oatcakes #staffordshireoatcakes

A bit of sunshine and spring has arrived in the garden. #mygarden #mygardentoday #nature #spring

A lovely few hours at Dorothy Clive Gardens. I go to remember Mum as it was one of her favourite places. The fountain wasn't working today but still lovely to listen to the birds. Lots of signs of spring. #dorothyclivegardens #rememberingmum

Warms my heart to see Mum's heart is still at the Belvedere at Dorothy Clive. It's moved again but it's hanging in there! Mum used to love spending time here and it's where I come to remember her. #DorothyCliveGardens #rememberingmum

Flippin ek it's pancake day. Dad would always be the pancake maker in our house and he liked to toss them! The dog would eagerly await any that didn't land back in the pan 😂 I've made some tonight, no tossing just flipping. I did one with jam but you can't beat sugar and lemon! #pancakeday #pancakes

I've been messing with clay and generally making a mess as the clay had a life of it's own and just wouldn't do what I wanted. It was a bad clay sort of day. Jon kindly threw me three bottle kilns. #pottery #creative #potteryclass

Today's social history talk was Mervyn's Pub Travels: An Ale Odyssey ... tales of landlords/lady's, signs found in pubs, various stories of people and animals. Interesting and humorous and many of the pubs I'd visited over the years. #socialhistory #stokeontrent

loved James's boxes fireplace on Pottery Throwdown. The boxes looked so realistic and doesn't everyone love a used box ! #PotteryThrowdown

Good to see Moorland Pottery and their Stokie ware on Pottery Throwdown tonight. #PotteryThrowdown

Trentham this morning. Been a few weeks since we've been down. Definite signs of spring. We sat on our bench having a coffee in the sunshine for a good few hours 🌞 Caught a glimpse of the kingfisher from the hide. #trenthamgardens #trenthamestate

Charli XCX wins an award with a song about underwear but seems to have forgotten to put any on #TheBrits

watching Sabrina Carpenter and thinking Pans People have come along way 🤣😂 (and no I've not heard of her or the songs - nil pois) #TheBrits #TOTP

I'm that "old person" who hasn't got a clue about recent music. About to start watching The Brits. To make it more interesting for the nominations, 1 point if I know the artist, 1 point if I know the song and if it wins a Brit I get a bonus point! I'm thinking there maybe some nil pois 🤣😂 #TheBrits

When the doorbell rings and you go to hand the guy the sweeper you are selling on marketplace and he hands you a box of flowers ... I was speechless! Thank you to my thoughtful friend ❤️ #bloomandwild #flowers #kindness

Breakfast this morning at Apedale. Sun was shining and the birds were flitting about on the feeders. Spring was definitely in the air. #Apedale #Saturdaybreakfast #staffordshireoatcakes

they aren't staying again because the room has a plastic bin ... jeez you were expecting your guests have a pee in an outdoor toilet and a bath in a tin bath that was a long hike from the pod ! #FourinaBed

It was so lovely to get a #HandwrittenLetter in the post today from @kendie.bsky.social... I love proper old fashioned post... but you don't get much these days...

Just me, some water, birds and nature perfect way to spend my morning ❤️ #rodehallsnowdropwalk #RodeHall #nature #snowdrops

A lovely few hours wandering around Rode Hall on the snowdrop walk. Glad I waited for a nice day as blue skies make such a difference. #RodeHall #snowdrops

So ITV have lost TdF after this year and I've just seen that Sky have lost the rights to Eurosport as of tomorrow... soon I'll have no where to get my TdF cycling fix ! #cycling #TdF #Eurosport #Sky #itvcycling

After a false start and some unravelling sock number two is now on the circulars 🧦🧶 #knitting #knittingsocks #knittingproject #handmade #creative

just caught up with Unforgotten. How do these people know what they were doing four years ago. I can understand maybe the person who has done the murder but other suspects? I struggle remember what I did on a particular day last week, never mind a timeline of events for that day 🤣 #Unforgotten

Almost 6.00 p.m and it's still light(ish). The difference a sunny day makes. Let's hope the weather stays good because everything feels a little bit better. #weather #nature #sunshine

I also worked on my bottle kiln which is glazed with stoneware glaze which hopefully will look brick like and saved me painting each brick individually. #pottery #bottleoven #stokeontrent #creative #potteryclass

So today in pottery I got to glaze my bisque fired pieces. I'd still got some glazes left from when I did pottery before so I used them. Be interesting to see how they will come out as they have bits in them which makes patterns when fired. #potteryclass #creative #pottery

Long overdue handwritten letter done. #writealetterbyhand #handwritten #letterwriting #handwrittenletter

sniggering watching Pottery Throwdown when they mention flange, knob and hump 🤣 #Potterythrowdown

Lovely catch up this morning and a cream tea. Love the posh crockery... only time I get to use Wedgwood 😂😂 Quite fitting visiting Josiah as finished reading Anna of the Five Towns this morning. #Wedgwood #Annaofthefivetowns #stokeontrent

Shaping the toe and sock number one done! Love the colours. Just need make a matching one now 😂 #knitting #knittingsocks #knittingproject #handmade

in this digital world of music downloads kids of today will never understand walking into a record shop and asking for The Cure, Let's Go To Bed 🤣😂 #TheCure #80smusic youtu.be/j6vVP91C3Iw

Traitors US ... the contestants are all so annoying, so selfish and I don't won't any of them to win ... but I can't wait til next weeks episode 🤣 #TraitorsUS

The Apprentice tonight ... think it's one of quickest firings I've seen and definitely well deserved ! #TheApprentice

Shaping of heel and gusset done and now back on circulars so can take knit & stitch and not have someone's eye with my DPNs 🤣 Love the colours of the wool. #knitting #knittingsocks #knittingproject #handmade

Today in pottery it was all about turning and making bricks for my bottle oven! #pottery #bottleoven #stokeontrent #creative #potteryclass

Corrie is getting more like Casualty and The Bill ... we spend more time in hospitals, the police station or Court ! #Corrie #CoronationStreet
