Yeah, I know, but it's not easy for me to post pics here. Why? Simply because I use public net services (mostly the library). And here, there is only one scanner, and it's plugged to computer number 5 only. And the computer number 5 is not often free. This is why I often speak of s I don't show. I wish I had my own computer and my own scanner.

Well Valérie, a secondhand pc isn't that expensive...

Huh... no, when I say "free", I mean "with no one using it".

I said that,because you said you wished you had your own computer(PC) and scanner ect...

I see. But anyway, up to now, I succeeded showing you many things, for a who has no computer. Maybe someday I'll scan up my Britains Indian rhino to show it to you. There are a few animals I'm planning to show you anyway.

We would love to see everything from you Valérie!

There it is! I must have been about 10 years old when I got the white draught horse for my birthday, the one that is pulling the blue cart on the Farm 4 picture. This one was my absolute favourite toy out of all the animal models in my box. And that box was pretty large I've still got it. The paint is a bit damaged, but at least the horse is still in one piece, unlike the elephant

Cheer up! I didn't succeed in keeping my old toys undamaged either. When I was a child, I had that cute plastic animals set marked "made in Hong Kong". But since it was all made of hard plastic, here is the condition of my pieces:
Brown Bear: missing an arm.
Male Moose: became a female (lost its antlers) with just one ear.
Indian Rhino: missing a back leg.
Giraffe: missing its horns and an ear.
Bison: back leg and tail broken off (still have them).
Elephant: missing a front leg and an ear.
Gorilla: many paint wears.
Lion: many paint wears.
Tiger: completely lost its stripes.

See what I mean? With a line like that, I can never be proud of having a masterpiece collection...
