Hannah Whitlock –
bought this for my son’s bedroom after he got obsessed with pirates and the sea (thank you, Horrible Histories). He turned it over about forty times in the first ten minutes, then sat cross-legged on the floor timing how long it took him to tidy his toys. It’s now his official ‘tidy-up timer’ and he’s weirdly strict about it. The copper bits look lovely against the dark wood too.
Colin Marsh –
Ordered from here again and, as usual, no fuss. Nicely made, sand runs smoothly and it’s sitting happily next to my model ships. Only thing is the sand takes a touch longer than I expected for a run, but that’s me being picky. Cracking little piece.
Margaret Doyle –
Got this for our grandson who loves boats. His little face lit up when he opened it. Lovely and sturdy. Spot on.
Margaret Hollis –
Bought this for my grandson Alfie, who’s seven and obsessed with pirates. He’s sat watching the sand run through for ages, then flips it over and starts again. Even asked if he could take it to show-and-tell, so it’s staying on the shelf at mine for now. Cracking little gift.
Daniel Pritchard –
spot on. Looks properly old-fashioned on my desk.
