Very Peloton-y.  ;D
What went wrong with the custard display?

(is that the experiments that can be done "walking" on custard - the sort of supersaturated cornflour/water mix that does weird things and dances when you put it onto a source of vibration, such as a speaker, to make the "custard" dance, or was it something else?)

 ;D ;D ;D I wish there had been something like that to watch as the stalls were full of the cheapest 'vintage' stuff you could imagine, plenty of coffee and cake but I'm on a diet !  ::) ;D ;D

Just heard from Jill Devine, definitely a 'Foundry' piece, done in blue and pink, known as the 'Graffiti  ' range, ;D

a nice addition.  Shame about the Custard Factory.  Always a bit disappointing not to find 'the' piece when you go to these events.

Never mind I just won a S&W's 'Rainbow' vase and four pieces of Royal Brierley Studio for next to nothing so I'm a happy bunny, :o ;D ;D ;D ;D

I know it's OT, but here's some non-newtonian fluid (also known as "custard") acting for your entertainment.

I had to go and look your place up.

That's a bit weird, it's called the Custard factory because it's part of the  'Devonshire Works' factory, if you didn't already know, ;D ;D

I didn't. Custard makes me think first of non-newtonian fluids, then sinks to the depths of custard creams as the second option, before thinking dribblingly of a home-made egg custard with whisky in it, for a bad cold.
Not in a month of Sundays would I suspect an arts centre.
