We recently visited some old friends of ours. I immediately noticed their cuckoo clock. Couldn't take my eyes off it. Went home and kept thinking of it. I discussed buying one with my husband and he agreed. I did contact my friend and asked if I would offend her getting one. Her words were " go for it " It was an efficient delivery. We have it in our garden room, which is where we tend to sit in the day and relax. With family visiting over Xmas it has been a talking point. The grandchildren loved it and it still makes me smile. We even have named the bird !
