Oh thank you for the description Gill, sweet pea pink, I know exactly what the pink must be like now. It is one of my favourite brooches as well, because while being utterly magnificent, it is, well, more approachable, I could see myself wearing it. The Cullinans? Not in a million years.
And thank you for telling us about your visit. Most enjoyable.
