Quelle surprise!

When we closed the shop, there was a little stock left after the final sale. We approached a jeweller in town who was nearest to our style of operation than the others. He was prepared to take the stock of watches to see if he could sell them.
Logically we popped in from time to time to see how he was doing.
Imagine our surprise to walk in and find virtually our entire set of counters, which we had not set eyes on since 2008.
Seems he bought them but had them in storage until recently.
