Those are great leelai! Check out my piggies too. Bit weird I know, but before I retired when I had to do a fair bit of travelling. One way to lighten up some particularly rotten day in a strange country town was to look at the local knick knack shop and buy a piglet for my collection, which grew a bit over the years. After a time, coming home, my wife would say, "How was your trip, you didn't buy another pig, I hope?" Doesn't at all compare to those lovely crystal figurines we've seen. But I still look at my piggies with fondness at times.

You know something Nathan when someone complains around here about an iDevice going obsolete I'm going to point them your way and say "there's no such thing as obsolete"

Here's another mouse from my collection. This one is a pewter figurine of a mouse and his girlfriend singing Christmas carols.

I must find our door stop wedge with a carved nose on it.

A certain woodcarver in the UK, Robert Thompson, carved a mouse into his tableware and kitchenware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_(Mouseman)_Thompson

Here are photos from my walk through parkland and gardens West of Bromley's town centre...















A nice clear sky. These allotments are near Bromley south, next to the railway.























The oldest house is listed and 16thC. The timber chalet style is a Colt house. A kit house manufactured in Kent. The modern one is architect designed and crammed onto a small building plot.















The Glassmill holding pond, walk to playing fields and a remainder of gates and railing which once closed off one green space at night!

More to follow....

... At the top of a steep hill (good workout here ) stands a beautiful War Memorial.



























The sculptor's name at the base of a figure.



The view from the war memorial area includes this towards Upper Norwood and Sydenham. The Crystal Palace stood on the area at the skyline.



















Bromley Parish Church was reconstructed after very extensive war damage.



























Churchill Gardens, Bromley with its underused open air theatre, friendly wild life and a skateboard area on a tennis court.







A couple of nice late Victorian houses just by the Churchill Gardens. From here I retraced my seps home
