Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Isaac Button Revisited

Note ! There is no sound on these videos, don't think your computer is broken!

Someone has posted more of the Isaac Button film to YouTube, I just love to watch this, Isaac's gentle demeanour, his calm, and his smile.

He lived at Soil Hill all his life, his father (Also named Isaac) purchased the pottery in 1893, and rebuilt the main buildings, Isaac junior worked there until 1965.
