Hard decision to make mate, whatever you decide you will be heartbroken when he does go. Give him as much love and affection as you can until you decide it's time. Feel for you mate.
flying saucers, cinder toffees, strawberry laces, milk bottles, etc, etc, all that's been mentioned, brings back memories, used to love rice paper, if any of you are old enough to remember. Good luck and best wishes in your new venture Trapperman.
