When I was six I became a small smallholder - in that I became the owner
of a pair of khaki campbells -
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/dux.jpg

As they grew up a bit, my ole man checked their nestbox each morning for
eggs, and in his shed I found just the job - a nicely glazed pot-egg,
which I placed in the nest before going to bed. (Double summer time then
IIRC)

In the morning I was delighted to find a pot-egg in an egg-cup in my
place at the breakfast table, and learnt that 'practical jokes' were
good...


That's a lovely photo, Rusty!
