....but it is my shi#te photography.:whistling::funny:

Ali carved this as a present for Betty (nee Terry), the last survivor of the Terry chocolate family that lived at Goddards where she works.
They apparently had a great menagerie including Dormice in the late 20's / 30's.

What a stunning piece of carving, out of interest, how many hours work is there in a piece like that?
