Green-Time-Stone

I'm cheating slightly, but I thought better to post something than nothing at all!  Lucky Snapping is back with some daily prompts, I posted my VIEW on Monday but haven't managed another post till tonight.  I still haven't got out and taken any daily photos but thought I'd share a few of the pictures from our visit to the 'Potfest in the Park' at Hutton in the Forest, Cumbria last month.

Green

The gardens at Hutton in the Forest are delightful, a lovely walled garden full of borders packed with flowers and laden fruit trees.  This is the greenest of the photos with those amazing architectural alliums.

Time

This is a view of the house, just as the sky started to clear (it had rained hard overnight and first thing in the morning) You can see a bit of the tents where the pottery stalls were housed.  As it is old, I thought that time was quite appropriate.

Stone?  Not quite, Pottery!

More cheating, but I thought you would enjoy seeing this piece of pottery which was entered for the competition that is held alongside the sales tents.  We really love this surfer and her dog!

Potfest in the Park 2008

I went to the Potfest in the Park near Penrith yesterday with my SIL. There were some lovely things, most of them well out of price range. As well as having all the stalls selling pottery, there was a themed competiton and these are some of the entries for 'Clayopolis'.

I liked these cheeky chimney sweeps.

Especially, the fig leaf man!

This wasn't a competition entry, but I thought it was a great idea for displaying succulents.

These little houses are from the Clayopolis competition.

Those of us doing the 'house' swap on BF Forum might want ot have a close look!

This sculpture is made up of rings of clay.

And this one was actually called 'Birdhouse in your soul'

Detail from the birdhouses.

The Potfest is held in the grounds of a large manor house and has a lovely walled garden with a herbacious border which was in full bloom. I took loads of pictures, but here are just a few.

This is my SIL, Isabel, in the garden
