A couple of new acquisitions - 2024 Panda and 2022 George & Dragon

Brilliant pics @Silverlocks . I have the George and Dragon - it was supposed to be the first in a series of three Modern Masters, but there has been no sign of the second one yet. I'm afraid I find the Panda a bit too twee for my taste, though

I rather liked the design when I saw it, another serendipitous purchase off a forum.  I've got a few pandas, a 2021 and a couple of 2023s - I suppose I've been exposed to enough cutesy Asian popular culture that I'm kind of inoculated against it.  

When I was a wee lad I had a thing for Tchaikovsky, and as an old fart I'm a card-carrying Studio Ghibli fanboy; these two phenomena probably aren't coincidental.

Your still a young fart Mister.

Yeah.  Heard it all before.  Uphill both ways etc.  Get off my lawn.

Tchaikovsky's wonderful,  @Silverlocks , but Bruckner and Sibelius now ....   and Haydn is  a celestial master
