My charming friend Tony in Scotland lives very close to Glen Roy, "I live right at the entrance to the glen and this is my 'backyard.'"
What a lucky guy he is! I can see him sipping tea with a Wedgwood book on his lap in front of the fire with a big window behind him sporting this beautiful view!
Click the title of this post to learn about Darwin's visit to and study of the area and its geologically interesting landforms. Tony says there is additional interesting information on the subject on Wikipedia under Glen Roy. We Wedgwoodians seem to have a far-reaching spectrum of interests haven't we? For me, that's the greater part of Wedgwood's charm ~ the huge variety of pots, people, places, perplexities and pleasures we can stumble upon in the study of our favorite pots! Thanks again Tony, a true renaissance man, one with many interests and talents. We'll end with today's treat, his description of the mundane chore of dusting, "turning the dust over onto a clean side" - he makes the chore actually sound fun!
