KEVIN GREALY & JOHANNA DE MAINE (WORLD RECOGNISED MASTER POTTERS) |
MON 24 - THUR 27.07.2017: Returning to Susan and Kevin's place for Stage 2 of the gardening project. On our arrival Kevin was in the process of taking his latest firing out of the kiln. Kevin now has about two firings per year in his wood kiln, but unfortunately due to a lot of variables, this batch only produced a handful of items that reached his high standards. Just to lighten the mood, Carole spent the afternoon with Kevin and Johanna asking all the "dummies questions" she could muster!
Finished our garden duties and Susan asked if we were interested in visiting her friend Gwenda's garden. Oh gee, let us think about that for a microsecond - well Y-E-S! Okay, where do we begin with Gwenda's garden, Sybil was in "pig heaven". One of the most stunning fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, bromeliads, orchids, begonias, ferns, stags, etc. etc. etc. etc. Too many "wow" moments to place in the blog. Gwenda asked if we would like some plants to take home or did Sybil request them - can't quite remember, whatever, another magic moment! Sooooo hard to pick just a few pictures of the garden! Have to add that the photos do not really do the garden justice.
