Festival of Vases

Do you think it is fair to say that most mothers like birds ?

There’s no empirical evidence I can call on - it’s just anecdotal.   Perhaps it’s true that most people like birds and mothers are just a subset of all people - but again that’s anecdotal- perhaps most people don’t like birds at all - I know a lot of people eat them and now I think about it, I’ve even heard some people like to shoot them just for fun 😳

I have to believe that there’s not very many mothers that shoot birds just for fun - but that’s not empirical or even anecdotal- it’s just a very strong hope on my part.

I hope your mum has a very nice Mother’s Day and if she is in the subset of all people who like birds but excluded from the (hopefully much smaller) subset of mothers who like to shoot birds, you could think about getting her one of my bird vases from the Village Gallery Sutton?

These vases are available in the Festival of Vases which runs until 4 June 2023 at the Village Gallery Sutton, 51 Camp Street, Sutton (open 10-4 Thursday to Sunday). The gallery is providing a complimentary bouquet of flowers with each vase purchase and will feature 17 ceramic artists during the festival. Instagram-VillageGallerySutton
