On Life and Lava 
Love your blog….and what a lovely cat.
Fellow Lava collector.
Rita
Hi Rita, many thanks for your comment and for visiting the blog, I really appreciate it! How long have you been collecting? Are you a member of the Pottery and Glass forum yet? It’s great to know there are other collectors out there. Oh, and the cat’s name is Poppy, she’s a former stray we rescued a month ago. Our other cat, Womble, hasn’t appeared on the blog yet, but I’m sure a post featuring him can’t be far away 😉
That’s what I thought too and then I started one anyway…. I have just read yours from top to toe or front to back. Great. Had never heard of Lava and now I have… and never been to your corner of Germany and now I have. I’ve even been in your living room – that sounds odd but you know what I mean… glad you can visit Auckland via me… come back when the rain stops – we’re having a wet week or two (again)…. Thanks for having me, I’ll be back. Ann x
Hi Ann, thanks so much for stopping by! I know, this blogging thing does seem to make the world a smaller place somehow. The weather here isn’t great either, I want my summer back.
