Pot painting, friends and jollity

Yesterday I went with some good friends to All Fired Up in Lancaster. It is a coffee shop where you can paint ceramics as you socialise! We had so much fun, I painted a mug with a picture of a princess on one side and 'Miss Swarbrick's mug' written on the other side. I can't wait for it to be fired so that I can collect it and start to use it for a good ol' brew! Mmm mm. We were in the shop for 3 1/2 hours, beavering away. Debbie painted a very professional looking heart shaped vase with a flower on either side (genius, in my opinion) and Ellie painted a teapot/teacup combination very cleverly with the picture spanning the pot and lid (what talented ladies they are!)

Afterwards we went back to the Peatpeople's place for yummy fish and chips and television viewing - Peter Kay's X-Factor/any other live voting type show spoof. Loved it! Particularly Nelson Mandella-ella-ella-ella-ella under my umberella... Genius!

The Dinster (Dinester? Deanster? Dino.) is becoming more sociable, though I remained happily sandwiched in the middle of the sofa with a coffee table in front of me - safe from woofy dogs, sharp teeth and slavvery mouths :) Sarah fed him treats and stroked him - she's a braver woman than I!
