The french representation of the Chinese man on the top of the box has always looked a bit cartoonish to me, but the abalone is quite beautiful.
And I won’t listen to your shame
You ran away, you’re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don’t ever let me know

“If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.” - Marian Wright Edelman (1939 -), Children's Advocate, Founder and President of the Children's Defense Fund.

Decided on a whim last Sunday to take a trip over to walk Archie round Snuff Mills and Vassals Park in Bristol.
Part of the Frome Valley Walkway I spent many a happy time mucking about round here growing up as it's all part of getting out on our bikes and going off out through Eastville Park.
Archie loved it and so did Eleanor and we even bumped into Weird Old Hattie climbing down through the woods with his family in tow.
He tells me his kids were well impressed that me, a complete stranger to them, knew their names ! The power of flickr !
Leave aside the vagaries of spelling: the Muttrah Souk in Muscat, Oman is a delight to wander around. It was hot outside, but the wide lanes of the souk were actually relatively cool and restful – and the whole place smelled delightfully of Frankincense.

I brought Snuff home today and introduced him one at a time to each member of the gang.
Snuff was a little scared to leave his castle in the woods, but I assured him that he was safe with me, and he rode on my back the whole way home. When we got home, not only was he surprised that there were so many animals, he was surprised at how big they were! He had never seen anything larger than spiders, and the occasional sparrow or mouse.
Despite his initial shock, he soon grew very friendly and he is getting to know us more and more as time goes by.
My friends were all thoroughly delighted to meet him, and it has been decided that he will be officially part of the gang.

Quite a while ago I tried a candle, but the degree of double exposure was annoying.
Now that I'm all experienced (yeah right) I cut down the exposure to a half sewcond. Looked better so here it is.
Cheers.
This simple snuff mull is made from a single, curled ram's horn. The silver lid is set with a polished agate pebble. This was a gift from Robert Burns to John Cunningham, later the 14th Earl of Glencairn. It bears a small silver plaque which is inscribed, "Presented to John Cunningham, as a token of esteem by Robert Burns, Oct 2 1790". Given Burns' financial situation at that time this would have been an expensive gift.
John Cunningham was the younger brother of James Cunningham, the 13th Earl of Glencairn who was Burns' friend and patron and after whom he named his fourth son, James Glencairn Burns.

This beautiful piece was created some time in the early- to mid-19th century. It is an enamalled porcelain snuff bottle in the shape of a "Buddah's hand" fruit, a kind of strong-smelling citrus. The fruit is revered in Chinese culture as a symbol of good luck. I took this photo in the British Museum.

My smile was taken long ago. If I can change I hope I never know.
