I've wanted one of these for forty-five
years.
On a childhood holiday to Scotland I tried
to buy one but didn’t have enough pocket money; either that or my parents said
they were ‘common’.
I still remember the disappointment.
But I’m older and wealthier now – and able
to make my own decisions on what constitutes good taste. Not everyone might
agree on my aesthetic sensibilities, but I’m thick-skinned enough to know I’m
right and they’re missing the point!
So on this week’s visit to Edinburgh, I thought,
what the heck… you can afford it … go for it Mark!
Ten quid later I’m the proud owner of not
one, but TWO, ceramic Nessies - and different sizes too!
It was almost worth the wait.
It was almost worth the wait.
There are worse pleasures in life than a ten quid Nessie...! And few as universally amusing. I quite fancy one myself.
ReplyDeleteLove them! You can get a version for the garden too...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and why not? We're never too old to realise a long-held wish.
ReplyDeleteFab! Excellent purchase. Last time I was in Drumnadrochit, I bought a fancy water dropper pippet thingy to add just one or two drops to my Lagavulin.
