Delicate

Dainty white china plates dressed in blue and white glaze, dinner set from the date, Dad and Mum wedding day din ensues- tinkling sound daring cat gets away, dozen shards on the ground. For contest 'Pleiades D', sponsor Kim Merryman 29th August 2016

That naughty kitty is at it again! So nice to see you finished yours. I was struggling to get mine done in time too. You are so talented to manage telling an entire story with just these few lines. Your imagery of the damage was too funny! Thanks for the laugh. I need to get to bed now. ; ) 7

Takk, Anne-Lise, I try never to leave moveable ornaments on the shelves. Not until she's too old to jump, anyway. Viv x
