Thanks, Mate!   I think that it's a stunning design and I'll be proud to
wear it!  :-))

Jayne Jenkins once bought me a couple of clear lollies-on-a-stick, each of
which had one of those worms  that you find at the bottom of some tequila
bottles.  On a scale of 1 -10 in the
"Let's-hide-them-in-the-freezer-along-with-the-rest-of-the-chocolated-dipped
-chillis" the worm lollies scored a semi-respectable 7 - until I eventually
cracked and ate them both.  The heads were a bit crunchy so I just swallowed
the rest - but I doubt that they were as good as those soused in tequila!
:-))))

The reason for saying that, is that alcohol never offends!!!  (The possible
exception being Bjorn and Huw's 'Silkworm Tonic'!) :-)))))
