Interesting Conversation...

This morning we had a very interesting conversation in bed while enjoying our pre getting up coffee and cow biscuit.
vin had been reading an article in one of his magazines he was going through, and came across one about "Wartski". He said Wwhat is the link between Bond Street and Llandudno?" Then he explained.
It was to do with the Marquis of Angelsey who liked to spend money on extravagance and jewels etc. He died at age 29 bankrupt by the way. Anyway he got a chap called Wartski to set up a shop in Bangor and then Llandudno to sell Russian wares and in particular Faberge. Then they opened up a shop in Bond Street which is still going today. I have just had a look at their website actually which is Wartski.com. and everything on sale is Price on Application!! Whish kind of says it all.
He has gone off to Maghull to do a bit of mooching this morning and I am fiddling aroundon here a bit. Dry today for a change, but the weather forecasters say that we are due for a Siberian month soon! Wonder if they have got that right?
our new neighbours are amusing us at the moment. Last night they had a sort of disco ball in their conservatory flashing red and green lights all night. This is presumably to go with the silver disco ball hanging up, and the red berry fairy lights festooned everywhere.
Tonight we are having:
Tacos with quorn chilli mix
Lettuce, grated cheese and tex mex dips.
