Throwing and turning clay into large sculptures is a very physical business, and the strange position that one adopts when sitting at the wheel can lead to lots of problems with posture and muscles. Carpel Tunnel is also a very common problem with potters and is something that I have been plagued with for a while. So, this weekend I went off with my partner to Fistral Bay near Newquay for a weekend of yoga, massage and general realigning of my skeleton.

To my shame I have never been down to Cornwall before, and we couldn't have asked for a better view of it than from our bedroom window.

This whole area seems to be surfer city. They were in the water from sun up to sun down...this pic was taken at 6.45 am and there were already three in the surf. This being mid november, I can't imagine what it is like in summer.
