Emerald Energy is SOLD

When I posted this image on Facebook a friend from my past saw it and asked to buy it .  I took Emerald Energy on the plane to Denmark in my hand luggage.  The thought of loading it into my suitcase scared me too much, so wrapped in armfuls of bubble wrap, EE passed through the x-ray machine at Gatwick and set off all the alarm bells.    The Customs Officer showed me the x-ray screen and EE was showing up as a solid black spiky mass and asked me what it was.  "Oh it's just a piece of glass" I laughed.  He wasn't laughing as he asked me to put my hand slowly into my handbag and pull the item out even slower.  When I finally uncovered EE from all the bubble wrap, he exclaimed "Oh what a lovely thing".  We then went on to have a wonderful conversation and I was on my way to Copenhagen.

Bryan Forbes and his partner Dorth Thi Dieu with EE in their  hallway.  They live in a beautiful house surrounded by three lakes and dense forest.  Every evening EE is switched on and glows a bright vivid green that acts as a beacon for all their friends to see as they approach the house.
