What is in your garden ?

I think I’m a little bit of a Buddhist in that there’s a good chance God will send me back to have another go. I don’t think I’m bad enough for Hell, but that rather implies I’m too conceited for Heaven. He’ll just have to send me back to try again! (I am a very woolly Christian).

I've a lovely carved chuckling Buddha on my masterpiece that we were so pleased to buy at a great price from a seller on the Great Wall. We showed our guide and asked how much he thought we'd paid. £3 (equivalent), he said? We'd paid 8. This tells the story of our haggling skills round the world.

maggie you still got a good deal and by not over haggling you put a smile on the face of the seller who no doubt was a great deal poorer than we are. So well done for not pushing your budhha to the lowest price.

A flogging spanner from an oil rig, set in concrete. Given to me as a joke years ago, I put it outside and got such disapproving looks from a neighbour, just had to leave it there. Brought it with me when I moved.
