Another Friday and Saturday. 2 Days of Shopping.
During the passing weeks we had been down to Forlongs Furnishings in Frankton to have a look for a new dining table and chairs we found what we would probably need. We did not buy anything at the time, we just wanted measurements. We returned on the past Friday to place our order for delivery next week. During our visit Pat had a look around for a possible glass cabinet to put her Lladro in. It is presently up in the attic storage room in banana boxes along other ornaments she has bought over the years.


Pat spotted a possible cabinet, freestanding on legs so we took the measurements. She also spotted 2 large shallow dishes, one for our new table and one for a possible Christmas present for Gillian.

We paid for our Friday purchases and the salesman Alistair asked if we had a "Birthday voucher" (worth $30). Pat said we had but we forgot to bring it with us. The salesman said he would credit us if we could get to the shop by tomorrow. We said OK. Anthony was going across tomorrow.

When we got back home we found the measurements of the cabinet for the Lladro was ideal. So we decided to go ourselves back to Forlongs, its only 10 minutes up the road, pay for the cabinet and the 2 bowls and deliver the voucher and come straight home.

The table is made of  Rubber Tree wood which comes from Java (Indonesia), it is very hard and a pleasant medium brown shade.
