Back from Zakyntos

After a most enjoyable and much-needed week's break on one of those small islands that the Greeks do so well,we're back and ready to face the new year that starts tonight.
The sea really is all those different colours;we had enough sun to return lightly tanned,the odd thunderstorm,a couple of minor earthquakes,and a Suzuki 250 V-twin [something of a contradiction in terms] which proved ideal for footling around the windy roads.Further details on application.
Meanwhile my new thermocouple arrived,only to reveal [on first firing] that the elements need changing [the kiln is taking twice as long to reach temperature]- lucky I ordered a set with the thermocouple!
Shana Tova- a Happy New Year to you all.Let's hope that it's a year of creativity,health and happiness with a large dollop of peace.
