www.simonleachpottery.com & www.etsy.com.- Today is St Georges day & on this day in 1938 my father & mother were married. My father started working for his father Bernard at the St.Ives pottery in Cornwall , England at the age of 19 ( 1930) & stayed there with his father until 1955 when he left & went to the Aylesford pottery in Kent. Then in 1956 they moved to Lowerdown ,just outside the village of Bovey Tracey in Devon . This same year I was born. aA "potted history "  On a side note my brother JEREMY is having a half price sale today 23rd & tomorrow 24th  at Lowerdown in aid of MacMillan cancer support - all proceeds will go to this charity. Get along if you can & grab a bargain & support this charity at the same time !   SL
