Sandra: You just gave me a brilliant with your box stuff.... Some of the
things you mention are items I have in my house all over the place. I have
2 London Double Decker Buses, 1 with Harrods on the side, British Telephone
Box piggy bank, tons and tons of photos of my life in England and then with
current and ex hubby (minus the ex hubby), maps, coins, Mr and Mrs Queen
stuff (I love that one), Marriage Certificate (we were married there), stuff
from Alconbury where hubby was stationed, it goes on... I think I'm going to
gather them up and put them all in a box and label it and make a traditional
English dinner one day and bring the box out and talk about the items in
there....

Thanks Sandra what a great idea.... How where did I put that flat cap eeyyy
by gum...

What's not in there are the jigsaw puzzles. We worked a couple a few weeks
back. I have two more not yet touched.

What I got were kings and queens of England puzzles, which can't be had here.
Charity shop buys. Both that we've worked had all the pieces. I have now a
beautiful photo of a gypsy wagon, and one of a painting of Elizabeth I.

And I got some kid-blocks puzzles, twelve-cube puzzles with parts of drawings
so you have to decide which side is right for the one you're doing, and the
arrange them. The art is kind of like the Peter Rabbit art. We already had
two of those, one American (Disney cartoons) and one German (Snow White).
Now we have three, and that's a collection! So that's not in the England
suitcase. <g>
