Kubella the twinking star at the Royal Chelsea Hospital

All the outside elephants are together, in the ground of the Royal Chelsea Hospital, on the area used for the Chelsea Flower Show!

Kubella in line with some of the other elephants..


Well, Kubella is currently at wait for it...£4251 on the online auction site http://www.givinglots.co.uk, with one whole week before she is auctioned at the live Grand Auction.

I visited her on Friday to make her toes twinkled, the small missing piece in her tail was fixed and she had a polish ahead of the auction in the grounds of the Royal Chelsea Hospital.


Whilst I was there, she had many admirers with wonderful comments like 'She's my favourite, out of all the elephants'. One couple even asked if they could take her home on the coach (they live in Bristol). Kubella did twinkle in the wonderful sunshine and seems to be enjoying being with the herd.

I wonder where she live after the auction? By the seaside somewhere, someone's mansion gardens, in a shop or even in a lobby, maybe she will have to get a passport and end up somewhere else in the world...well not long now, before Kubella's great journey ends!

Elephant news update

Kubella is now up to a bid of wait for it...£3251 online at www.givinglots.co.uk and there are 3 weeks to go before the Grand Auction where Kubella is one of the lucky ones, to be auctioned live by of Sotheby's Harry Dalmeny.
The Grand Auction should be rather special, as the tickets are £75 each! I will endevour to take photos for you all to see.
Farwell to the elephants on the streets of London..
All the elephants will go 'extinct' on 20th June- which means they will be uninstalled and taken away to the Royal Hospital of Chelsea. On the 25th, 26th and 28th, all elephants will be available for viewing to the public. In the period from 21st June until the beginning of July, The Elepahtn family will be arranging for all the elephants to be restored to saleable condition.
Kubella will soon be on her new journey to another part of the city and then on to a happy home within the next month.
I will be going to give her a clean and tidy up on 25th June before the auction, so hopefully she will shine!
She has received many lovely comments this week, including:
'Kubella is by far and away the best looking elephant I have seen to date, and should generate some good bids'.
