The chances of remembering to wind it daily aren't high. It has gone beautifully ever since you set it going - I've tweaked it a few times and now it loses a minute or two at most per week, easy to put right. I wound it up and stopped it before we went away last week and I've been prompted to set an alarm clock to remind me to set it going again in an hour's time.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644275821862159476.post-31612005134937940842018-05-28T21:08:12.150+01:002018-05-28T21:08:12.150+01:00Thank you Zoe.

That nice Dutch clock of yours always seems to me to be a good mixture of the best of two good worlds - the decorative artistry of Dutch furnishing and folk art, and the horology of an eight day English (style) movement. It's a lovely and unusual item. I don't mean to say that it's a marriage (if so it's a very happy one, anyway) but that someone, nearly two centuries ago now, took the best ideas of two countries and made a lovely blend of them. It's nice that you (very rightly) treasure it.

I...Oh dear, that's not very tactful of her. I'm sure you'd all love to see each other for the sake of old friendship, but it's not fair to put you under a bit of pressure that way. <br /><br />I promise that whenever you visit here, welcome as you are to take a fond glance at my Dutch clock, you won't be asked to adjust it!
