£450 for that?!

Well, they say a fool and his money are easily parted.

It would be fun though going into a seed merchants and asking if they had anything which would fill the proffered recepticle :shock:

It's back to a thing that is asked frequently on the plot "don't just stand there girl, grab hold of this!" 8)

There's a lot of re-building going on cos the little ******* have been burning things down again.
Lots of love

Don't encourage Grock. It'll only end up with her asking you to rub her scales with goose fat :oops:

Peter, I cannot imagine anyone on this Forum having a spare £450 let alone wanting to spend it on such an aid, but some might want to experiment with acrylic tubes or other materials for show purposes.The best use for a genuine antique such as that would be in a museum. I once won a first prize for 2 straight cucumbers, it was a pure fluke that I had a matched pair of straight ones.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Lizzie, sometimes I just like to live damgerously. Anyway I could always send me cousins round, I've got a whole load in Liverpool, plus their kids and their grandkids. :twisted:

Maybe i should pop up to the village of Liverpool, to restrain Grock, just incase she starts getting over excited while she's being rubbed all over. :shock: :D :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Gosh thats good news Peter, if you do sell them i hope you get a really good price, it might pay to sell them singly, as you might get even more money. :shock: :D :wink:
