Squire Robin, you titled this thread " I can't stop buying cannons". You say that like it's a bad thing, it's not! It's actually a good thing.
The seller asked me, "Why do you want it?" I was a bit taken aback and simply replied, "I collect cannons". I could almost hear myself dropping in to the 'wacko' category inside her head
I mentioned to my sister in law that another cannon was coming and she wailed, "Where are you going to keep it?" I explained it was a little one and I could keep it up against a wall in my den. She decided I could use it as a bookend and I didn't argue because book ends come in pairs so she can hardly object if I had to find another
Leeds is Yorkshire, don't exactly know where Batley is. I'm a confirmed southerner who believes the North begins at Watling Gap.
best regards
Squire Robin
