Yep, it's more in your face than "Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelt of elderberries!" For those who haven't seen the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs
Btw, those K & C desert buildings do make a reasonable looking castle.

Mike, more like British slang mate, I have never seen any Elderberries or Hamsters in Australia, the later being an illegal import. Btw, in Queensland the state where I live you aren't even allowed to keep Rabbits as pets
Btw, those K & C Palms look big suckers, I doubt I would have room for any in my cabinet.

So very nice to see you posting photos of your collection Youngster. Always a pleasure. Your Crusader/Saracen collection is very very nice. Enjoyed it . . .
Thank you very much Mike. Always good to hear from you.
Thank you Al!

Thanks, Desert!
You are right, Oz, they are big for a cabinet unless you have a good amount of room between shelves. If you happen to have the Dept 56 palms, here's a picture of them side by side. K&C is on the right.
Thank you Mike! That's high praise coming from you. Maybe someday I'll have your and Mike E's diorama and photography skills.

Thanks for the pic, I do have the smaller Dept 56 set with the built in well. I did have the larger Dept 56 Palms but they were to big and being ceramic I was always worried they would fall and break. The new K & C palms look a little bit smaller than them and I guess are more robust.

How come no Hamsters are allowed and no rabbits for pets?

Rabbits are banned in Queensland but allowed as pets in most other Australian states provided they are well contained. Rabbits and Hamsters originate from dry climates and are fast breeders. Rabbits were introduced to Australia by British immigrants many years ago and now cost us millions of dollars to keep them in check. Hamsters are banned in Australia as it is suspected they would also prove difficult to control if they escaped to the wild. Btw, many Australians see Hamsters in foreign television shows and get them confused with Gunea pigs which are common in pet shops here.
