  1. We've got loads of pictures like this taken in Russia and when MrH was visiting the Arctic Circle. The Russians often freeze coins in them as well.

  3. Unfortunately Dawn... adding coins here would guarantee that they were smashed soon ....they've already been repaired a few times (but the artist we chatted to whilst working away was very good natured about it)

    Jodi it just depends...the photos were taken in Feb and they're still Ok I believe ..if we get a warm blast from the sea then they disappear 'till next year

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
