I saw a barn owl as I sat in the warehouse of Khadi papers yesterday. Khadi headquarters is crammed full of the most fabulous inspirational paper. Added to all the colours and textures are little scraps of things brought back form visits to their paper mill in southern India tucked into corners and leaning against ledges. The Durex sticking tape in the kinky pink box made me smile, the office walls are papered with maps of India, the United Kingdom and a big one of the whole world. There are of course all the post codes that are essential for the delivery of all their papers by mail order and they are an education in themselves, for example do you know where PA is, well its Panama and KW is Kirkwell in Orkney! All very important when to comes to addressing those bundles of paperGanesh, the God of improvement looks on as the orders are put together and the Archers plays in the background and let us not forget the white owl swooping by.The photograph of the owl I have taken from this site the Hampshire Birder's Blog.
Today I had coffee with Annie Timothy. She has taken some stunning photographs of the South of England in the severe weather conditions. I am rather sad to see the end of the incredible permafrost, it has been very cold but the countryside has looked beautiful. There are more photographs on her web site here .
Wedgwood, England's finest china company, has been synonymous with beauty, craftsmanship and innovation for almost 250 years. Founded by Josiah Wedgwood I, known as the 'father of English potters', Wedgwood created the ornamental wares black basalt and Jasper for which the company is still renowned and perfected Queen's Ware, the company's celebrated cream coloured ceramic body. The factory is about to celebrate it's 250th anniversary but instead we are mourning it's demise today. A very sad day for pottery.
