On Tuesday 20th May, the Mistress (such fun to be able to use the term legitimately) and I had the great pleasure of attending Pewter Live 2014 hosted by the Worshipful Company of Pewterers.  This annual competition encourages students and established commercial pewter manufacturers and designers to submit their finest work.  It was quite a magnificent display a clearly demonstrated the wealth of talent we have in this country.  It was also an opportunity buy some of the pieces on display.  In this respect I am indebted to Liveryman Sue Bonham who led my wife with unerring accuracy to a stand of very attractive pewter jewellery.  Unsurprisingly we bought a very fine pewter necklace that was encouragingly affordable.  I recommend those having the opportunity to visit this and any future events.
