"Earth and Fire" with wind and rain

The weather last weekend at Rufford was never really good - Saturday and Sunday were both cold, blustery and with showers of rain. Friday was the best day, weather-wise.

My stand, in the North Courtyard, was up against a beautiful brick wall which provided a fine backdrop.

I was glad to be able to buy small pieces from both these potters. Nothing big, as I was flying home with only one suitcase.
