Oh Ingela, I meant to tell you that I bought another elephant.....the same model as the one with the poor broken trunk. He came all the way from Germany, beautifully and carefully packed, and is sitting next to the one with the broken trunk.........I have now also got a cat, a duck, and a bird, in the same black/grey quilted finish, with the bubble inclusions, so I think we can safely say I am 'hooked'!! ( Don't tell my husband, but there is another elephant on eBay!!!)
