Roses are red....
This lovely Gainsborough rose pattern tea set arrived today. I've been looking for this pattern for some time to replace one I bought a couple of months ago. That particular tea set was delivered by myHermes and arrived smashed to pieces, not the first parcel to be delivered by them with the contents broken. One of the hazards of collecting bone china is relying on the seller to wrap and pack the pieces carefully but even with the best wrapped parcels seem to suffer at the hands of myHermes.
