When I kept looking at it I understood why. It was the different coloured socks it brought back the stories I was told about my grandma escaping a prisoners of war camp in WW2. Also I did love Sonja from your last post and hope I wrote about that under your last review when I came to visit you back then. You have made me eager to get this on my wish list too!
