A cosy cabin in the woods for a miserable Monday.

A cosy cabin in the woods for a miserable Monday. After the last 2 weekends of storms I'm feeling incredibly lucky to happen to live somewhere not prone to flooding. My heart goes out to those affected. I know @reptile_tiles have been flooded and that they've been fantastically supported by their community. A wonderful silver lining around a pretty dark cloud. Hoping the same is true for all those others flooded.

Other side.
So, we often think, what can I do... Boris Johnson has just given the post of President of COP 26 to Alok Sharma. His background is in accountancy and banking. This COP is widely recognised as the most important UN climate summit ever. Ever. What seems obvious to me is that the President must have a wealth of expert knowledge on climate change.
There is a petition on change.org you can sign if you want to get behind the idea of a climate expert being President of COP 26. This is far far more important than party politics.

Spent some time I should have been making ceramics

Spent some time I should have been making ceramics making a banner! This is the 2nd part but to make it work on the grid I'm posting it first! Scientists worldwide have been repeatedly warning over the last few years about the threat of human driven insect extinction which will ultimately result in the collapse of nature's ecosystems. Sounds pretty horrific to me. So maybe we should be listening to the scientists and urging governments worldwide to act now, act responsibly, act with some degree of sanity. We can all "do our bit" at home to lesser or greater degrees but ultimately the only way to avoid what is being called the Unnoticed insect apocalypse is with legislation. Governments Will do what their people tell them if enough of them make their voices heard. This doesn't seem a radical and extremist thing to do. Radical and extreme is allowing the collapse of nature's ecosystems.

Part of an order I'm delivering to @townergallery

Part of an order I'm delivering to @townergallery shop this afternoon. I'm delighted my work has sold so well there as I love so much about this fabulous seaside gallery.
Really glad I managed to see the stunningly impressive Davd Nash exhibition and I'm looking forward to the David Hockney and Alan Davie early works. Also Brink, the exhibition that @carolinelucasbrighton has curated from the Towner Collection is well worth a look.

Finally back in the studio Proper 🤪 and can't wipe the massive grin off my face! I haven't been idle but it's been a while since I got my sleeves rolled up and hands dirty (clayey!) My head is bursting with new ideas and plans which is good as I've got orders, deadlines, exhibitions and exciting stuff all lined up and in the offing! I do feel flipping lucky to have the job I have and never take it for granted. @bbc6music is my companion and my little pot belly stove is chugging out some warmth. Right now all's good in my immediate world.

Veganuary? Veguary? Varch 🤣?? I LOVE food. Good

Veganuary? Veguary? Varch 🤣??
I LOVE food. Good, delicious wonderful food and hate denying myself anything I want to eat.. But that makes becoming vegan at times a slight challenge. I find it easy to rustle up savoury deliciousness but am intimidated by vegan sweet treats.. This morning I delivered a long overdue whale plate (swipe for pic) to the best cake maker I've ever met @maryhawkinshall and was greeted with this insanely delicious carrot and walnut cake. I'm trying to persuade her to set up a vegan cake business as I think there is Such A Need!!! #bestvegancakemaker #herwarmthandkindnessisinthecake #comeonhampers🤣 #illbeyournumberonecustomer

One of my plates featuring in a @hennylees still life!! This is the wonderful generous woman who missed out on buying something in my sale for @wwf_australia and sent £50 anyway! So I managed to find a piece to send her... and this is it! Against the most gorgeous backdrop 😍 I now have serious wallpaper envy!! Xx

Some beautiful photos to give you hope.
We are in a climate and ecological emergency.
Brighton and Hove council have a phenomenal opportunity to rewild 2 golf courses. This will allow the restoration of the diverse chalk grassland ecosystems, enabling flora and fauna to return and flourish.
I was recently blown away by @isabellatree on @desertislanddiscs and her incredible story of rewilding Knepp Castle's 3,500 acres. Extraordinary and wonderful, go give it a listen.
There is a petition that asks Brighton and Hove council to simply pause and consider carefully what to do with the upcoming 25 year lease.
People often feel helpless and that there is nothing they can do.... Well here is something!
If you feel this is something you could support, go to @extinctionrebellionbrighton and follow the link in their bio 👍👍 Then encourage some of your friends and family to do the same! The deadline is midnight tonight!! (15th January)
Photos are from South Downs National Park photography competition 2019

Yo! Fantabulous Insta community!!! Between us we raised £1,197.80 for @wwf_australia (sent on Friday 👍)
I am so so bloody chuffed and have finally finished packing. Off to the post office tomorrow morning 🤪 have to admit, slightly dreading that part as I'm sure I'm going to be extremely unpopular! If any of you have any advice (v successful sellers who send a lot of stuff a lot of the time ) I'd be Eternally grateful 🙏🙏 Not even sure there's advice to give but I'm in unchartered territory 🤣
Much love and many thanks to all who bought and all who tried, I'd like to feel we are all a part of a force for good in a terrifying world. I know this is a tiny drop in an unfathomable ocean but many drops make up that ocean!
