Evening all, this reminded me of a story abouth the hurricane that we had in UK on the 16th October 1987, a bobbin maker (his name escapes me at the moment) was always pestering his dad for wood from a very old plum tree that he had, every time he asked his dad refused, sadly just the day before the hurricane his dad died, but during the storm the plum tree blew down, his mother rang to tell him that his dad had given him the plum tree after all. The bobbins were a lovely dark wood and the spangle is - what else - a plum.
