GRRRRR!

Post by RonnieRoots »

A couple of days ago, we came back from a weekend of camping, to find almost all our decanters smashed on the floor. There must have been 10-15 of them... Only two survived, of course the cheapest and ugliest. A big bummer, especially as some decanters were pretty special to us. One beautiful piece was a gift that we valued very much and others were nice recollections of holidays in Portugal (Noval, Ramos Pinto). Most of them can be replaced of course, but still.... it was a horrible sight! :evil: :cry: :x

I trust it was not your feline friend that was the cause?! (I assume it is your cat?)

It was probably our cleaner (who denies of course).

Then throw his brooms on the floor and see if he likes it! :twisted:

I'm sorry for you.

Sorry to hear about that. Such a waste.

At least we all know what to buy you for Christmas!

Ouch: that was surely a distressing sight.

Maybe I will be able to hunt down the glass man and have decanters made for you. Not forgotten!
