... and came away with this.
Now I know what many people will be thinking and of course they're right, but this little beauty had my name on it the minute I first clapped eyes on it, and when I had an unexpected windfall the other day, the first thing I did was text Andy.
I'm rubbish at taking photos but anyway, please welcome Marlene (that's Marlayna, as in Dietrich, rather than Marleen as in Boycie's missus). She and Michèle complement each other beautifully, which isn't surprising because apparently padauk and zebrano are of the same family.
I cannot tell you how happy I am right now. It's like all my birthdays and Christmases at once. In fact, I said to Andy that it was like getting a pony, and it is: it's beautiful and exciting, and we're going to have so much fun!
Thank you Andy xxxxxxxxx
