A Viking planter

Today I had a pre op appointment at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, it's an hour's journey each way so it took up most of the day. I've no date for the operation but it should be fairly soon. 
 
Close to the hospital I spotted this model Viking longboat planter. It looks as if it could have been made by school children but I didn't see a plaque to tell me.

On the way home we called at a well-known electrical store as my fridge freezer is on the blink. They only had two to choose from, both with disadvantages. It's a shame that there are so few shops around these days to give more choice, I like to support shops but may have to use the internet instead.
