OMG TREASURE!!!!!!!

I am so impressed this is the largest piece of treasure we have been able to remove from a beach so far, we were happily picking up little odds and ends like we do…. got loads of bits we collect on our travels…. then Pete shouted…"look at this" and as soon as he did he wished he hadn't!!!!! The minute I saw it I said…right if we can move it , its coming home!…. So we pulled and tugged and nearly did me in completely!…. (I think the cardiologist said " don't do anything strenuous until I have seen you to assess you… But hoping I misheard him ha ha) I saw this and somehow I was having it!… So we must have pulled and rolled it 200 meters, it was the heaviest treasure we have ever moved. We were watched by some miserable people on the beach, not wanting to help or even give us a smile….very odd… anyway didn't phase us we got it to the slip way and Pete got the car…. we juts had to figure out how to get it in with three dogs!… It took up all the back of Larry the land rover and there was a little triangle that we shoe horned shadow into… Gem and Lucky had to sit in the from with me. And there you go treasure homeward bound, can't wait for some dry weather to clean and sand it up, this will look great, just can't get it in the garage to dry out until the landslip had been repaired as I can't open the door!…. SO what do you think…. excited??? I am…. mmmm what did I say about odd family! I am not sure you can tell the absolute weight of it in the pictures, but it was heavy, I think we will ache for the next week at least!
