And they weren't cheap The house I used to live on was built over a clay base. Clay was only 18 inches below the soil. The whole area used to be known for high quality clay pots and bricks. Still is for the bricks, major exporter of thanks Fred!! from what i have read, good clay for pottery is hard to find here. I must have gotten real lucky or else no one has looked for it.

LOL it looks pretty cool there. Went to the mountains yesterday and managed to take a few pics, it was hotter than heck but we had a great time found some wild strawberries, caught a couple of brookies and had a couple cold ones , then went to the desert and grabbed some more clay.

Members Handstitched Posted Tuesday at 01:14 PM Members Report Posted Tuesday at 01:14 PM Beautiful pics Well , things are progressing . Dads op site is pretty much healed up. No more dressing changes. Yey ! Just some lanolin to maintain the area. Just his skin graft area on his thigh is taking a bit longer to heal, i have to change that dressing every 2 days now, makes a change from visiting the local hospital every 2 days. We know nearly all the staff now by name , been there that many times. Still have the occasional video conference with major hospital in Perth. Hope all is well with your daughter and recovering well , and you're looking after yourself as well, taking care of our loved ones can be 'challenging ' . Take care friend HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '

Take care friend HS Life is good, my friend 🍺 On both sides of the planet. It's been a ride, though, and not one I care to repeat for a while. I am slowly catching up to my chores and starting to relax a bit. Went shooting the other day just for kicks and picked up some more clay. Ive processed about 30 lbs so now i have enough to play with if my kids don't use it all up. A great thing is taking place here now, folks are buying more and more US-made products and more and more small family businesses are making a comeback, finally. I can see my kids actually being able to work for themselves and make a living if they want to go that route in the future. Anyway have a great day and say hi to pops for me!!
