The mug was for my friend who loves in the UK and was diagnosed with Parkinsons almost 15 years ago. She loves her cup of tea and I though the design on this mug was lovely. I sent the photo to her husband to see what he thought of it and he said it was beautiful so, I ordered and paid for it at my end and had it shipped directly to them. They received it just before the weekend and Debbie absolutely loves it. Thank you very much. Delivery took just over a week which is not too bad given the current state of play.
