Having said that a wonderful bronze sculpture of a shell by Maggie Hambling placed on a suffolk beach has ben vandalised many times too, by a similar demographic, so as they say in the North "there's nowt so queer as folk"indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-48293196610202206522008-01-24T18:45:00.000-08:002008-01-24T18:45:00.000-08:00materfamilias, just wanted to let you know that I'...materfamilias, just wanted to let you know that I've tagged you for a meme over at Une femme.

There's also an interior small town mentality that lingers, obviously, but the incident is not necessarily representative of the Okanagan over all.
