“…. Stuffed birds; a zebra head; gun
slings, and ammunition boxes; stirrup cases (apparently Victorian
hunting ladies, would change horses at lunch time; their dedicated
grooms, who take out the concealed stirrup and ride the tire
horse home astride); horse hair fly whisks; unreliable travelling
alarm clocks with a tick louder than their alarm; stuffed fish
and walking sticks made by Mr. Joy who also mends bikes, and
suffers from bad eyesight, and whittles away the winter hours
over his walking sticks. Denbyware, earthenware….
The place is stuffed with real gift ideas for
me to give principally to me”.- Nick May, Bath.
