The present is a lovely little 4.5L proper oak port keg with a little brass spout. Even now it is going through the roughly 24 hour prep-process of cleaning/soaking with water before the 1st batch of port goes into it later this evening. All well and good.
Meanwhile, the children (especially Lillian) had designs on the box. Initially she wanted to make it into a giraffe costume, but Jane was able to turn the idea towards just making a giraffe. I provided one small (tho important) idea WRT the engineering to support the head & neck, but Jane clearly watched a lot of Playschool as a child. Until such time as the kids need help taking down oldman Withers and his haunted amusement park, my own childhood TV experiences will be of little use. In any case, I thought the result was well worth sharing.
An update - we have achieved chariot!
