There is something just mesmerizing when after a long, hot trek across a wild and rugged landscape, suddenly the vista unfolds. The steep climb, trudging through the heather and bog myrtle, a herd of deer spying on your every move. The heat of the day and as you climb over the hill and the view [...]

Excuse me if those mighty wheels of the Persabus blog appeared to grind to a halt again With days flying past at a rate of knots, it has been quite a journey this past month. In the pottery those fabulous commissions, and orders have been rolling in. There's been magazine interviews and photos shoots. It’s [...]

It is a cat’s life on the farm at Persabus Our tigers roam the fields at this time of year. Enjoying a spot of hunting with all the fresh pickings that arrive as the grass begins to lengthen. The fields are a sea of yellow just now, with the brightness of the buttercups gleaming skywards [...]

We have been flying by the seat of our pants at Persabus quite literally. Living on the edge of the land. Winter storms have raged across the landscape. Wild seas lashing against the coastline. Ferries battling huge waves to keep our lifeline service running. Sometimes when you look out of the window on a grey [...]

We woke up to a hard frost A peppering of snow on the Paps and brilliant sunshine. Days like these. It is good for the soul, especially in these strange times. Running through hard frosty fields, dogs in tow, and the Hebridean sheep do not blink an eye as we pass. They are used to [...]

It has been a time of the most beautiful strawberry lemony skies Capturing the final hours of daylight with the last rays of the setting sun painting the landscape with golden, pink hues. Underfoot the rugged peaty ground frozen solid. The wild grasses coated in frost. In the distance the pink and lilac snow-clad mountains [...]

When the sea is calling I was brought up falling asleep to the sound of waves gently breaking on the shore. The guttural hum of bleating sheep. The sweet scent of grass and peat. Tired, cold feet hardened from days of running bare foot through the Machair and across the sands. City shoes long discarded. [...]

Whoever thought it would take soooo long? These past few weeks when the Happy Farmer has enquired why I am running round like a headless chicken, in between spending hours googly eyed in front of a computer screen, my response has been ‘Well, I’m opening a department store!’ He simply smiles and hands me more [...]

The blog has taken a bit of a back seat We have been ‘cooking with gas’ in the pottery. Our Halloween ghosts and ghouls in the form of our ‘pottery takeaway’ painting boxes have literally been flying off the shelves. The first two days saw us sell out of stock completely. Thankfully we were able to [...]
