A delightful Sri Lankan family

These pictureses were taken of a family who make clay cooking pots and sell them to local markets. There they were by the roadside with a range of clay pots spread out. The driver/ guide was asked to stop. The intention was top buy a few pots and see what they were like for cooking. The boys insisted on demonstrating their impressive skills. Within minutes they had produced a clay pot and set it out to dry. No glazing no kilns. A purchase was duly made and what a good purchase it was. These pots are fatastic for stews, bakes and particulary curries. The family were really sweet and we had a reverse bartering situation.
