So it’s been a week of emotional ups and downs for me. On Wednesday, I was 100% set on deleting all my social media and closing down the podcast. This episode is proof that I pulled myself together and got some pottery made 😁Have a great week everyone. The Saint Lucia Potter is a reader-supported publication.

So this week was all about the media, I went live on TikTok on Monday to receive delivery of frozen Greggs pastries. Then, I spent the rest of the day, answering comments and thanking people.On Tuesday, I was visited by the wonderful Mareen Alexander, host of DBS This Morning, here in Saint Lucia.I even spoke to a photographer from the Saint Lucia Times, who kind of disappeared never to be heard from again 😳🤣🤣She was so much fun to chat with, I like this TV lark, so far 😁For those of you who want the full sausage & bean story - the full YouTube playlist click here Have a great week, everyone…Sausage & Bean Melt Mission 2025 - Conclusion Greggs Taste Test with Mareen Alexander I think I’m on to something…My (edited) Segment on DBS This Morning (My mum gave her the guava…😁)Thanks for reading The Saint Lucia Potter!

So, I was feeling a teeny bit down, so I thought to myself, you know what cheered me up last year? That whole Greggs Sausage & bean melt thing. Then I thought, there’s no way I could get TikTok to bring me another pastry, could I?

So meetings were moved, things adapted and the episode I wanted to make evaporated into empty air. So this week is an homage to Meghan, who, after watching her Netflix show, I believe is a genuinely nice person. I’d obviously seen all the reaction so I was expecting her to be fake and a poor presenter. She is the exact opposite, I thought she was interesting and informative. There’s already a couple of things I want to try… Anyhoo…Have a great week everyone. PS Last chance to get a 2026 pottery retreat - click here Thanks for reading The Saint Lucia Potter!

In today’s video episode of The Potscast, I bring you up to date with my current state of either joy or despair, we won’t know for sure until…One thing we do know is that buying a fully equipped house that’s ready to move in, from china, shipping it and paying the customs duties is a third cheaper than the quote to build the same house. The quote doesn’t include interior finishing…It’s always good to think outside the box… or the island, in this case 😁Have a great week, everyone Get full access to The Saint Lucia Potter at keramikslu.substack.com/subscribe

Because it was my birthday on Thursday, I’ve decided to pause The Potscast and bring you my birthday outing.
