This little (?) statue is charming, so demure. Thanks for all your nice words and encouragement. I remember saying to myself at one point that I wasn't going to worry about competing, so thanks for reminding me.
The statue was a gift from my brother to our late Mum and now resides next to my pond! Thanks for your response to my remarks - I sometimes worry that I say too much and come over as presumtious, so it's nice to know you took them in the spirit they were meant!
