Wrapped in bubble wrap and posted from the UK, a small package was left by the postman in Mary’s anti bite box by the front door.
The package was addressed to John Gray, the cottage by the church ...Trelawnyd Wales. The small note inside, carefully written in ink pen said it was from Harry aged 52 1/2 which was Sweetly funny
“ For Your Art Wall”
Inside was a small porcelain hanging with a wonderfully embossed hare design on the front
Quite beautiful
I’ve just hung it on the art wall
Thank you Harry
Thank you so much
Lovely

What a lovely gift. I know it's not Prince Harry as he is 36 next week - not 52.5.
ReplyDeleteI love the way Harry addressed the parcel and it got to your letter box; British posties are the best detectives I feel. Love the Hare he looks like a spring Hare to me all joyous and bouncy. It looks great on the wall. What a treasure.

ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteSweet little bunny
ReplyDeleteHow enchanting. Maybe a shy admirer letting you know he is of an appropriate age.
ReplyDeleteI hope he looks like Russel Crowe
DeleteYou want your admirer to look a lot like you? You and Russel could be brothers.
DeleteHarry the Hare, derr.
ReplyDeleteMy comic used to have Harold Hare
DeleteA beautiful work of art how kind of Harry to send you this gift so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful John - what a mystery and what a nice man Harry must be.
ReplyDeleteI hope, and expect he’s reading this
DeleteWhat a lovely surprise!
ReplyDeleteIt was, it’s rather delightful
DeleteThat is so special John-I adore it.I love hares-I have pictures,ornaments,purse,garden hare,a wall plaque,earings,ring,necklace,wide bangle.I was sitting in a woodland with my top dog and one stopped and looked straight into my eyes.Your friend Harry is so wonderful to send the hare to you x
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, both the hare and Harry <3
ReplyDeleteI love hare & rabbit imagery and it's WONDERFUL! Harry is (I assume) the talented artist!
ReplyDeleteI like how Harry added the one half to his age. That is a great surprise gift, the best kind I think. Who is this Mystery Man?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeletedoes he take orders?

Nice art and a bit of whimsy. A great gift and nice addition to your art wall. Clearly, you have another admirer.
ReplyDeleteI see microbes blooming.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!

Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible it's a play on the word "hare"? As in har-e, Harry. Or perhaps that's what Tom was getting at. It's lovely regardless. I'm going to start telling people I'm 54 and a half. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteNear the end of next month I'll be 69 1/2. I thought I'd be taller by now...
DeleteHugs!
Ha ha ha Barbara Anne. Good one.
DeleteWhat is an anti bite box?
ReplyDeleteI think it is a box that the postie puts mail in instead of putting the mail through the door and running the risk of getting bitten by a dog. In the UK the mail is put straight through the door not in a postbox at the boundary.

There is something wonderful about Hares, that is absent in Rabbits.
ReplyDeleteWhat an expressive piece - such movement and subtle colouring. A lovely gift. I wonder if Harry made it himself? Is there any artist's name inscribed on it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift. And of course it is appreciated. By you, and also by those who view this post.
ReplyDeleteLovely gift and goes so well with your other art... quite lovely. Ro xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. The colours are perfect for your art wall. There is something so magical about hares x
ReplyDeleteAn admirer? How nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect! I hope that we find out who Harry is. He sounds like a very good person.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely beautiful, and aren't the Royal Mail just brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, charming, and so special. Kind Harry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a kindness....and so beautiful. x
ReplyDeleteHey John, it looks like The Hare and the Moon. Which are symbols of rebirth, new beginnings and good fortune. Fantastic gift Harry, super thoughtful
ReplyDeleteIt would seem your interpretation of the gift might be right on! It certainly fits where John is at the moment!
DeleteLovely and intriguing. Also great that Harry's taste matched yours...art is very personal and hard to choose for someone else.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great gift! Is Harry single?!
