I've seen far worse. :)
That has little pussy cats on it. I'm afraid I'm a complete sucker for pussy cats.
But I still wouldn't have it, even as a gift. ;D

Thank-you all for tolerating my wibble. :-[

Keith, I bought an identical vase last year at a car boot and it held six snowdrops which I gave away, so they are still out there to be found

You will be pleased to hear that I just scared my little cat silly, Paul.
I guffawed, loudly and unexpectedly at that. I nearly scared myself. :o

thanks for still being my friend Sue, despite my dopey comments earlier......    however, I have to refrain from replying to your latest missive  -  it has the potential to get me into a lot of trouble. ;) ;)

I feel sorry for your little pussy though. :-*

Here's the photo used in the book, showing three daffodils with two leaves in the little pot. Total height is just 18.5cm

Thanks David,
 Stuart, you said a vase with snow drops did you mean paperweight  ?

Sometimes, it gets shifted to another shop in another area, where that sort of thing will sell, but I haven't ever found evidence of anybody buying a 40th anniversary plate anywhere, at any time.

You have now Sue!  ::)  The middle one is the Ruby (40th) wedding, the other two are 50th and undated... all have since gone to our local charity shop.  :-*
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

You had a reason to buy it, Anne, for photographic records, not for somebody as a gift, and you did send it back to a charity shop. I'll give you an A* for effort, but I'm not absolutely convinced it counts. :P
