Christmas Outing
Sunday 14 December
Venue: Potter About Burntisland
Enthusiasm uncurbed by the drench day 15 walkers set out from
Bennochy towards Burntisland stopping Beveridge Park to walk one circumference
of the park anticlockwise (that's the route which has less of an incline).
There was no dilly dallying at once back at the cars we headed to Burntisland
parking at the Links car park
We were welcomed at the door of Potter About by Lorna and Pat,
co-owners and the cafe was a lovely warm and welcoming retreat from the
weather. Normally closed on a Sunday they kindly opened especially for us,
thanks to them both for giving up their precious day off
Down to business. The tables were all set up for us with brushes,
water and all we had to do was select the piece of pottery of our choice for
painting and select our paints from a great range of colours
Silence reigned, but not for long as we all had 100%
concentration while starting to paint. There were some examples of already
decorated pottery and some of us used these for ideas. Some of course went
totally off piste with great ideas for decoration.
Once our creations were completed we retired to the cafe and had
delicious sandwiches, cake (massive) and teas and coffees and lots of chat.
We left our masterpieces in the safe hands of Lorna and Pat as
they had to be glazed and fired and we arranged for them to be picked up the
following week so we could have them for Christmas
Back to the car we said our walkers prayer, especially thinking
of our friends who either by illness, family duties or work could not be with
us today
"May the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way"
