One cannot leave Hogsback, after a stay or daytrip to this magical place in the Eastern Cape, without a little clay hog souveneir.  Take some of the magic of Hogsback home with you.
As one approaches the little village of Hogsback, after the beautiful drive up a winding road, locals are visible on the sides of the road selling their wares &#8211; beautifully engraved (burnt) walking sticks and little clay hogs of a variety of shapes, and painted in different patterns too.  These clay hogs are cute and quite srong and sturdy, but can also break if you&#8217;re not too careful with them.  Once home, put your little clay hogs in a place where they won&#8217;t easily be knocked over &#8211; but make sure it&#8217;s in a place visible to all visitors, so you can point at them when you&#8217;re telling visitors about your wonderful trip to Hogsback, where you walked in ...]]></description>

As far back as I can remember I’ve been semi obsessive with having clean hands. This is all fine and well, but it annoys even me when I have to get my hands dirty just so that I can wash them.
This is what happened when the little clay duck was born.
I had been out in the garden, doing a bit of weeding and other long overdue chores. As usual I wondered at the high clay levels in the area, and particularly in my garden. Idly, I grabbed a ball of the offensive clay soil and tossed it into a bucket. Another chunk or two followed. Some water to make a fine sloshy mess, and then strain it. I didn’t have proper sieves, so I made do with some hardware gauze rescued from a caravan. I then stole the tea strainer from the kitchen, and laboriously poured the mess through that. ...]]></description>

My dad once told me that when your childhood became important to you, you were reaching old age. I have also been told that you are only as old as you feel. These two conflicting statements are a bit much for a blonde, so I’ll try to ignore them, and go where the story goes.
This Clay Brick site has somehow or other flipped a switch in my head that keeps trying to open the portal to my (much) younger years.
While pondering over the topics and subject matter that would be suitable for this site, fresh, and worth reading, it came to me that children no longer play. I won’t be going into all that now, just those bits that are about clay, and its effect on my life.
On our walk home from school, to save the 2c bus fare (a packet of Simba chips), we would pass a patch of ...]]></description>

When we took over the Clay Brick Trust site I was at a bit of a loss, as I could not imagine that clay, and or bricks and or trust had anything going for it. To cut a long story short, Terry started working on the site last night, and then it dawned on me: The ultimate yuppie, and not-a-yuppie toy: A backyard feature constructed of, yes, clay and bricks.
Traditional does not go back too far, as our not too long ago ancestors used to use hollowed out termite or ant hill thingies in which to bake. These were simply easier to use than building a new oven every 100 miles. These anthill ovens also worked very well. When aforementioned trek ancestors found a place in which to settle, they built a house thing, and then Mama would get her outdoor oven. A serious history student would know exactly how ...]]></description>

The domain claybricktrust.co.za used to belong to a web design client of ours, Neil Sparg, who has a business in Nahoon, East London, supplying blocks, bricks, sand, and stone for building purposes in the East London area.
It was just a one-page site for brief information about Neil&#8217;s Clay Brick Trust, and for visitors to it to use to contact him. But Neil is a busy man, and didn&#8217;t market the site much, or the link to it. We did the web design but did not take on the marketing of the site too.
So, we&#8217;ve let the site lapse, with Neil&#8217;s permission, and instead of letting the domain name again become available for anyone to register, we&#8217;ve taken it over ourselves and have turned it into this WordPress blog.
Neil Sparg is known in the East London area for many years of involvement in the building trade and for supplying stock bricks, ...]]></description>
