hmm so all you americans get to party on a lovely big boat??? and drink cocktails with little umbrellas and a surfeit of fruit floating in it???

too far to come from sunny england, so just a thought... is there anybody out there from the south east who would fancy getting together... could meet up and drink(naturally) and show work and that sort of thing...

id love a pint of guiness with a little umbrella in it....
love bexx

Hi Bex,
I live in Cornwall.It would be good to hear from other glass people in the uk.
I`ve had my kiln almost a year now.I`ve just started to get my work in some gallerys locally and things seem to be going really well.It would be interesting to compare prices etc between our different areas.
Anyway,hope to hear from you soon,dave...

sometimes we have to push it!

PS -I would think most people in the western (developed? -ha! ha!) world share your sentiments Marty.

Ho Colin,

It's already Tuesday where you are but I returned here (my home town) five years ago, after 24years abroad, it wasn't so sunny when I left (that's why I left!) but when I came back it seems the Belizean sunshine followed me. Modest -yes, I know.

Like you mentioned in the other thread Colin, the weather changes extremes every other day.

Looking out for you on the satellite map at http://www.intellicast.com/LocalWeather ... aliaHIRES/

Keep your head down in the hurricane mate, hope you have flour, beans and water and your roof is okay.

Hi - I'm based in Bristol (ie southwest England), had my kiln for about 8 months now and currently building up a series of dishes for sale in local galleries. I also make dichroic jewellery - a great way to use up the scraps!
If Bohle do a class in London I'm in.. I'll ask Lisa about it next time I call.

Fraid not - I'm still a bit of a Luddite. Hoping to get a digital camera soon, so watch this space. Or a space nearby.
