You remember all those amazing gifts I bought for H on trips away from home?

Well, she went off to Wenzhou last weekend for a wedding, WENZHOU of all places. Anyway, when she came back she had a ‘surprise’ for me.

She set down a medium sized box (which she’d not even bothered wrapping) on the lounge table, ‘here we go’ I thought, ‘another reindeer horn type disaster’.

How wrong I was..

Well, I was literally lost for words the first time I wound it up and let it go, I sat there completely spellbound as the magical carousel twisted around and around, tears flowing down my cheeks.

So that’s it, the ball’s completely back in my court now, she’s not daft, she knows my next trip is likely the Christmas trip back to the UK, I’ve got to go big this time…

Does anyone know who the girl at the back is who watches over this farmer’s fairground? (seriously I have no idea, it seems a bit odd, I might replace it with a picture of my own)

EDIT:

Clint had a pretty good point so I decided to replace the photo with a picture of two old folk. I started to worry though, what if the girl in the photo was some kind of magical pixie and if I remove her the whole thing will just cease to exist or become possessed by poltergeist?????

There was only one thing for it:
