We had so many ideas before we started, that it was difficult to choose which ones to use. We decided that we wanted to show mainly two things: - The seasons, because they are so clear and strong here in the village, they guide us through the year, and we live - Representing the community as a prints.

Some tiles were then glazed in a shiny top-glaze, others left natural. It is amazing to see how a glaze that looks like nothing turns bright when fired, and how it looks different again if it has clear glaze over it.

The wedding took place

in the beautiful and tranquil setting of the Everglades Hotel in Widnes.

Here is a photo of me in my kilt, jacket, waistcoat, shirt, sporran and in my socks. I had a fake skeen du and my button hole flower. During the service I had to do a reading called “Marriage is Madness” in which I was chocked up with tears and despite that I got through the reading.

I now have a very large step family of two brothers and two sisters and their children.

All the best to my Dad and Step-mum Janet for their long and fruitful marriage.

A home…

Good-bye Botton, Thank you for the home we found, friends we made, memories we keep:

It is now my time to leave, and to let go. Here is my favourite poem, as well as my life lesson to work on (much better in German, of course): Steps (Hermann Hesse)

As every blossom fades and all youth sinks into old age, Carnival... so every life’s design, each flower of wisdom, attains its prime and cannot last forever. And of The heart must submit itself courageously to life’s call without a hint of grief, course the Guinea A magic dwells in each beginning, protecting us, telling us how to live. Pigs: High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm, cleaving to none as to a home, the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us but raise us higher, step by step. Scarce in some safe accustomed sphere of life have we establish a house, then we grow lax; only he who is ready to journey forth can throw old habits off. Maybe death’s hour too will send us out new-born towards undreamed-lands, maybe life’s call to us will never find an end Courage my heart, take leave and fare thee well.

Hello, big wide world. I cannot wait to see what is next. Anja
