JOSIAH WEDGWOOD WATCHING OVER HIS EMPIRE

We've found a great blog called Staffordshire Daily Photo and today's photo is taken from an angle most of us don't think of. All of MY photos of this statue of Josiah are from the FRONT, how about yours? This is just a short article, but a powerful picture! And be sure to click the link within to the Save The Museum website ~ it's growing close to the end of the month, the deadline by which we have been hearing we'd know the fate of The Museum Mess! Happy Wedgwooding! You know the drill, click the title of this post to go to the article!

GREAT REASON TO HEAD TO EDINBURGH - Wedgwood

As if there weren't enough reasons to go to Edinburgh, Scotland here is one more! What fun to add a matchbook, swizzle stick or coaster from this restaurant to your Wedgwood accessories collection! We'll all probably assume the china on which the food is served is by Wedgwood & Sons! Be sure to try afternoon tea at The Balmoral, another great spot! Photograph: Mike Wilkinson, article courtesy The Guardian "When this restaurant opened four years ago it sent out a clear message that on Edinburgh's touristy Royal Mile you could still find seriously good restaurants with seriously interesting menus. Many a business in this historic location would be tempted to bask in their success; maybe put their feet up and watch the tourist money roll in. Not Wedgwood; its pigeon served with haggis, neeps and tatties is as unusual as it is delicious. Try to avoid being seated downstairs, as the natural light of the street-level dining room is where you will enjoy this inventive and innovative experience the most." For recent (12/2011) reviews of this restaurant go here.
