Near Loch an Eilean there is a potter who runs workshops on a Thursday and Ryan, Jess and Kath all signed up to throw a pot. The potter, Penny was a lovely lady (a bit scatty!) and so complimentary. They all thoroughly enjoyed this activity and for all of them it was their first time on a wheel. The concentration on their faces was a sight to see. They all made pots of different shapes and sizes and applied the glazes in their own styles. The pots will be fired then sent on to us, possibly only just in time for Christmas as Penny is about to have knee surgery.
Later we looked for a walk and found one skirting Loch Insh then tracking uphill to the Uath Lochan pools. Kath noticed a little froglet hopping downhill on the path and, as we continued we saw many more and shouted warnings to each other so we didn't squish any. It was a long stony track so goodness knows where they were going.
After a cuppa at the Loch we visited a sculpture park - the sculptor had been a friend of Penny the potter until he died a few years ago.
Homemade shortbread by Kath tonight!
