Love the *cubit arm, and sleeve* that is engraved there.  Is that a Family crest (hierarchy) -- whoops no, a cubit arm is cut off at the elbow....

Christine said the perch is the same - but the herons are standing in the water, not perched!  :wsh:

(Herons do perch. It's weird seeing them up in trees.)

You'll have to look out for the Allister Malcolm Claret Jug in Broadfield House, Thomas.

It's the same as mine, but with a wonky handle. (It's the first one he made for me - then the handle, the last bit, went wrong, so he started all over from scratch!)

And you'll have to say "hello" to me too, 'cos I'm coming down for the Fair! :rah: :rah: :rah:
Christine's asked me to stay.
