There have been some new additions to the Arthur Wood family. First, I found the squirrel in a Glossopian charity shop. Next came the owl, found on a stall at the Newark International Antique Fair. Now, I have a tortoise courtesy of one boyfriend for a birthday present.

Funny story with this one though. We’d been to a car boot sale the week before where I spotted… an Arthur Wood tortoise money box. Gleefully, I leaned over the pick it up as Aidan said, “It’s got a chip on the head!” in an almost joyful manner. I realised just why he was so joyful a week later…
would you be willing to sell your tortoise money box by arthur wood ?
Hi, I wouldn’t I’m afraid. It’s part of a collection that I’ve kept! Not that I need any more collections…! Emma
