1. I take in yesterday’s washing (left on the line overnight to finish drying in the early morning sun) and hang out another load – the sheets will be dry within the hour, and the last of my winter laundry backlog will be cleared.

2. My (clay) coils are much more even than they were just a few weeks ago.

3. The woods are no longer filled with mud. Both Lily and I arrive home with clean feet.

3b. The remains of flour marks are scattered around the woods.

4. Attention to detail (and a little extravagance) in the packaging makes the kit all the more special.
