This has to be the most beautiful setting for a green Wilson Bird of Paradise ever!     This magnificent pram used to be my flagship but she now belongs to Janis - a lovely lady in Scotland - who has the opportunity of wheeling her gorgeous grandson in the pram and also visiting some pretty wonderful places, as you can see.   This is Dunrobin Castle in Sutherland where, Janis says, there is a museum with a nursery and a children's room, not to mention a Millsons parked in the hallway!  Don't all rush at once!!

I've always loved prams, from my very earliest memories at 3 years old I can remember pushing a dead rat around in my tiny dolls pram - we lived with my grandad on his smallholding and when he caught rats in the chicken corn store he would take them and bury them but one day he left one by the grain bin and I found it! When my father saw what I had got in the pram he wanted to take it off me, but I was taking "pussy" for a walk and wouldn't let him have it!

There are lots of stories like this from people of my age, ladies who remember their first little dolls pram, ladies who remember their pram which was bought for the first baby - either saved up for by themselves or perhaps bought by a parent or a mother in law, but they all remember them. I wonder what the girls of today will remember!

This was exactly like the one my mother bought for my first baby, David; I was so proud of it and took it everywhere - we even managed to get it in my dad's mini van - where there's a will etc......!
