Recently my mum and I went to Auckland, New Zealand to visit family but still managed to squeeze in a little shopping. It was cold and raining when we went to Morris & James at Matakana and I decided to buy a blue pot to add to our collection and worry about how I was going to get it home later…
I brought the pot home as hand luggage, at customs I was asked to explain why I had a bucket in my bag. I told them it was a plant pot. The customs officer looked very puzzled but let me through. He said it was the first time he’d ever had someone bringing a plant pot onto a flight. It was heavy but it looks right at home now with a Duck topiary and Viola seedlings planted in it.
