How on earth did we miss that before ? In 5 visits and trawls through a really very large selection of borders (unlike B&Q
[spit]) . Anyway off I trots home with my booty , happy as a pig in poo . Passed the local charidee shop, popped in there . BOOM ! The perfect big painting to match my wallpaper AND border . Bootiful . £2.49 . Chuffed to little mint balls . Hubby will be super impressed .”
