Breakfast at the Pottery

Since my Mum in Law moved down here 20 years ago we have got to know a few of the B&B's.

This weekend it has been the Pottery. All the pots and plates on our breakfast table are made on the premises. Unlike the other B&B's we use, breakfast is brought to our room - up a white cast iron spiral staircase, as we are in the roof-space next to the pottery studio. Poached egg on toast for both of us this morning.

Our host also runs pottery courses. He tells us that business has gone mad over the last couple of years. The Great Pottery Throw Down series on TV hosted by Sara Cox has got a lot of people thinking they would like to learn how to be a potter. The power of TV.
