Lalique in need of repair

I shall put the lack of thistleiness down to Lalique's "artistic" license.....  :P :wsh:

Paul S.:
Sue.....no sweetie  -  you're just not looking properly at the picture  -  there are indeed wee  little hairy projections out of the top of the flower head  -  and anyway the leaves are quite different from teasel leaves.   Apparently, the teasel is absent from the north of your country.   Far too cold I shouldn't wonder  :24: >:D :wsh:

They (teasels) certainly managed to protest about travelling this far north - they brought their own bodyguard!
Mother had insisted Dad picked a whole load of them in Spain, they were sitting on top of all the high shelf bit over the engine at the very back of the VW dormobile we were travelling in. As we unloaded from the boat in Southampton, my ghastly wee brother shouted with glee, "Sue, there's a massive spider behind you!". Naturally, I didn't believe him, but looked anyway.
There it sat, almost on my shoulder, body the size of a ping-pong ball, brown with white spots, great long legs, black and white, like a zebra crossing.
Poor dad had to stop the VW, get out and grab the thing. Sadly he didn't think to preserve it to find out what it was - he did manage to squash it in tons of paper towel.

I spent the rest of the 500 mile journey sitting on a wooden box between the front seats, terrified it had had babies in the back.  :ooh:

Anyway, we digress (sorry mods).
