Thank you very much for the pictures. They are lovely. In explanation of my postings, in 1915 the man who was to become my grandfather returned to England from Holland about this time of year to meet up with his brothers and enlist together in the Middlesex Regt. He purchased the heart shaped metal plaque in Holland (the uniform being appropriate to the times) and made it the centre of a display of flowers in a wicker basket for his girl friend (later my grandmother) with the "proper" side showing. The "naughty" side was meant to be a secret private joke, seemingly. However the basket was left untouched and exactly as my grandfather had delivered it for some days, and one day whilst my grandmother was at work, her mother (who was a very prim and proper strict Victorian Methodist) took the basket apart to save some of the flowers in a jug and was the first to see the "naughty" side !!! All hell broke out, apparently, but they eventually married and the plaque has been handed on ever since. I don't know why my posting became a mess, but Saturday night is the night that I have a large scotch - so !!
What a lovely story and do keep posting your lovely pictures.
Cheers Tatty ..I enjoy a large scotch too now and again ..!!

What a lovely, romantic story Tatty.


My eyes seem to be slightly out of focus at the moment (helped by a glass or two of Sicilian red!) so would that be the 'naughty' side ....or the proper side we can see?

Naughty naughty Cetti...!!
I thought brandy was your tipple !
Tatty is a star ..he always brightens my day with his pictures.
