Hi,
 Just wanted to say that Emmi also would have come up with the answer................ I just pipped her to the post :)

Stevens and Williams made a very similar case with a clear foot.

LOL!  I went to bed early as was exhausted after Cambridge.  But yes, Wuidart was on my mind!  Lovely colour Keith I know someone who has the Violet version, also stunning!
