I remember walking round the Schlumpf collection at Mulhouse very shortly after it was discovered. Staggering numbers of Bugattis of phenomenal value.

I have a carpet (one of a stock held by the GDR as state gifts to visiting heads of state), with Rosa woven into the centre panel, but no bronze; she was never important enough in the pantheon perhaps. There is also a fine set of papier mache masks of all Soviet leaders since Lenin with elastic at the back like on my school panamas, with which to liven up a dull evening.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-16103485967307493042008-07-24T16:33:00.000+01:002008-07-24T16:33:00.000+01:00well, thank you Anthony !well, thank you Anthony !Nick Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670594203660051701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-273295732982818192008-07-24T14:59:00.000+01:002008-07-24T14:59:00.000+01:00Hi,Apologies for posting this as a comment, but I ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Apologies for posting this as a comment, but I couldn't find a contact form or email address.<BR/><BR/>This is just a quick note to let you know that your blog has been included as a Trusted Source on the Politigg news site.<BR/>http://www.politigg.co.uk<BR/><BR/>This means that Politigg will provide a direct link to every article you write, including a brief snippet to get readers interested.<BR/><BR/>Politigg aims to allow you access to the best political articles from across the web, as judged by other members.

I'm very fond of the small animals whose collective name I daren't try and spell.
