Mum ...............

came the call from downstairs, you know that tone when you can be sure it's not going to be good news and true to form it wasn't good news.

Ceramic snowman meets tiled hearth and snowman definitely came off worse. 

It was however an accident and as I love that snowman I dug out the glossy accents in the absence of super glue (note to self must get super glue in) and set to work ...........

The results are a lot less than perfect but from a distance and for the amount of time they're out of the box for it isn't gonna matter.

I like a happy ending.
