We first discoverd the Midlands Meander and the Dargle Valley Pottery when our family moved to Pietermaritzburg in 1984. Over the years we have visited the pottery several times, usually with the express purpose of acquiring one or more particular items. All of the visits have been memorable and the acquisitions subsequently treasured.

The most memorable visit was without doudt during a special special Midlands Meander Festival Weekend. The Pottery still had the pot bellied pig and the Hairy Legged Lentils were there to enhance the ambience. On that visit we had my mother-in-law with us and I distictly remembver her thoroughly enjoying the visit.

A couple of years ago we met and spent some time chatting to Ian Glenny, the Dargel Valley Potter. On a recent visit to a acquire a pot as a gift for my wife's 65th birthday, I mentioned some of the pieces we had that I particularly liked. I also said I would create a web page exhibiting them, and would also let him know when I had done so.

This is that web page!
