Re: Bristol Blue Glass

[Lisa Ash <chipaway@th...freeserve.co.uk>]

Um....  A lesser known fact about the gobshite they call me...  I  
collect Blue Glass too!
Have to confess tho, most of it wasn't bought in Bristol coz it IS hard  
to track it down there for some bizarre reason (Brizzle people - isn't  
there a shop up by Christmas Steps somewhere?  Near that bit of wall  
that's black and white checked tiles...?  If that's already been  
answered, do ignore me!  Have to confess that I only really half read  
these posts!)
Anyway.  Blue glass.  Yes.  I love it too.  I can't help it.  It's just  
so beauuuutiful.  :o)
