I'm no Freya!

If you've read the acknowledgements at the back of Summer Escapes on the Scottish Isle, you might remember me mentioning my old art teacher and a certain vase?

This is what I wrote:

"I need to thank someone else: Mr Nicklin, my art teacher when I was in school (so many years ago) for introducing me to clay and not laughing at the result, even if my vase looked weirdly like a bottom. My mother pointed that out when I proudly brought it home.

She still has it, but I’m not sure whether that’s because she likes abstract nude buttocks, or despite it looking like an abstract nude backside. She told me I can have it back any time I like. I’m not sure I want it…"

I took another look at the thing the other day. It still looks like a bottom.
