These are really mementoes of a place I love - in various forms, and they are scattered all over the house. I had a job finding them and have probably missed some.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-68348016163641314732007-07-12T14:12:00.000+01:002007-07-12T14:12:00.000+01:00I once saw a beautiful collection made of semi-pre...I once saw a beautiful collection made of semi-precious stones...a very wealthy Jamaican-Jew owns them, and there was a board game too.

From the window seat I usually get on the plane I can often see exactly how packages marked FRAGILE are handled.

Kids swallow them, slide on them or put them in catapults to lethal effect.<BR/>I was very proud of my big bag of them.<BR/>As well as the ordinary worker marbles, there were those captured in combat and the favourite "specials".<BR/>Eg, green skellies, glessies, wallies, plonkers, on and on. I'm not that old.Dr Maroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639939963726199699noreply@blogger.com
