Hello Folks,
My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.
I have been potterising for nearly two decades now. I stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.
We are getting ready for the Christmas rush. Are you?
Here are some reviews of some of my favorite bits from the world they call “Art”.
1. Painting
The Hay Wain - Constable’s most famous painting. I always thought he was a Policeman. It threw me for a while when my mate told me he wasn’t.
2. Movies
Die Hard – A bloke wearing a vest kills the bloke who played a wizard in Harry Potter. He can’t have been much of a wizard if he lets a bloke in a vest kill him. Goes on a bit.
3. Music
Saturday Night Fever - The Bee Gees were reborn with this album. I had a fever on Saturday Night. Went to the pub without drying my hair properly after a bath. Caught a chill. Goes on a bit (the album that is – not my fever – otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this).
4. Ballet
The Nutcracker - Big thighed lads prance about for some reason, whilst thin girls stand on tippy toes twirling. Then they finish. Roughly at the same time. Goes on a bit.
5. Poetry
Flute Notes From A Reedy Pond – Sylvia Plath ditty, “Hourly the eye of the sky enlarges its blank” - I haven’t a clue either.
Village News
We’ve been informed that shampoo is now in store in Spar. Next to tinned fish. Which I am assured is Dolphin Friendly.
‘Til next time – The Wheel Keeps On Turning!
