This went on for the whole 3 hours that it took to build the kiln, and she took about 70 photographs! They both ended up helping us with the work, and her little four year old daughter, whom we named 'Cornflake', tried to life the coke shovel and failed!
Those initially involved with the burn were me, (Alan), Jon Roberts, Neill Wilkins and Robert, Pat's son. He was the youngest at 13 years old.
