    Airfix model of one of these!

    [​IMG]

    Got about 10 packets of seeds, compost scoop, small terracotta pots (so I can take even more cuttings) etc.

    My nanny gave me a lovely write up on my Granddad (who died before I was born) too. It didn't cost anything to do, but the knowledge is something you just don't get every Christmas and that makes it extra special for me.

      Dai can water the plants & Catz can look after the cats:heehee:

      If you visit the Roman City of Aphrodisias in Anatolia, ask to see Orhan at the Casa Evi (Excavation House) and tell him you are a friend of Ziggy Bey. He will look after you:dbgrtmb:

        My wife was very good to me this Christmas, lots of prezzies :D, bless her she constantly amazes me..:D

        Anyways one present was a plastic model of Dr Who's TARDIS (I like watching DR Who), I opened it up and there were 12 little storage drawers and each one had a packet of seed in, some unusual varieties too :thumb:

          Probably too busy wrestling it away from the local ants nests, they are bothers when they curl up, can't get a grip on them.

                    I presume this is of the model variety Victoria. Hate to think your crashing a full size one! :)
