I can just picture you playing with your Dickens figurines, walking them around on snow covered paths saying stuff like "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!" and then skipping across an ice covered pond saying "External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty."
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

Dickens kept me sane at one point in my life many years ago.

Three guesses:
1.) This is you:
2.) Jail. Something sex related.
3.) You already ate your first wife when you were snowed in one winter and you were bored.

It's magical.
The moment I saw your photos the symphony began to play in my mind.

LC, that sounds wonderful. Please do post some pictures when you get some.
I've also been collecting mine for over 20 years. My children gave me new buildings or accessories each year as a present. So it's a pretty nice collection, including some rare pieces. Unfortunately it needs to stay in storage this year.
