We went to Ewenny Pottery and watched the potter at work. There is something magical about watching something being created and we stood entraced for ages. I eventually tore myself away to buy the cutest little brown mug for winter mulled wine.
We had lunch in Ogmore at The Pelican, one of our favourite pubs. Like a good blogger I took pictures of the food to taunt you with. V had poached salmon in a white wine and cream sauce and it was beyond delicious. My honey roasted ham with home made apple chutney was just as good and very filling. I have left overs for my tea.
And then we went on to Southerndown and one of my favourite things in the world...
A walled garden...
It was sleepy and warm, sheltered against the cold wind that was blowing off the sea.
And there were still flowers spangled about
Autumn sunshine poured lazily through the tangled apple trees but the sun was so low it felt almost wintery. Not long to go before the frosts arrive I think.
We enjoyed the golden afternoon.
Hope your weekend is just as lovely.

Sian- Food and pottery- I love it.
Lovely photos.
We had frost in the Valleys day before yesterday. It'll get to you soon.
Love and hugs Gina xxx
We could use some walled gardens around here, especially as gorgeous as the one you visited.
It all looks so lovely. Your full length coat is gorgeous. I don't even own a coat, but I do like the idea of them. :o)
Gorgeous pictures Sian. Fab looking walled garden and the food looks delicious too. I so love reading about your family days out and the exciting things you get up to and see. x
