brown jug with hunting scene from 79

hi all
i always promised nan that i would try and find out a little bit about this jug. it bore the inscription w gessy, the bull inn, charing cross, launton. on friday penny and i went to launton near bicester and found the bull inn. a large thatched building.
i showed it to the landlord and he was very impressed and took numerous photos and then he showed me a list of landlords from when the inn first opened. low and behold the landlord from 1873 to 1879 was william gessy. the jug is dated 1875. cased closed. nan could never remember where it came from although it had been in her family for many years. secondly are there any twitchers in the family (birdwatchers) if so please visit www.eco-watch.com/livecams scroll down and click on blue tit cam.you will have to be quick because they are growing fast and will probably fledge within the next 8 to 10 days

Hi Anna,

Try adding '.htm' at the end of the url (i.e. http://www.eco-watch.com/livecams.htm)
It's incredible! We have blue tits in our garden and they eat the spiders that sit in the corners of the window frames (hooray!), but I've never seen anything like this!
