THANK YOU
I would just like to say a few lines by way of a heart-felt "Thank you" to the lovely people who have made today a wonderful day, just when I am feeling truly "carp" and needed a big virtual "booky" hug!
First of all to Morgan of the Fens who has just sent me this BEAUTIFUL cookery book after my name was pulled out of the hat in her recent draw. It is a lovely book, full of tempting recipes - just up my street, as I enjoy nothing more than baking, and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes when I am feeling a bit more my old self again. It is something I would drool over in the bookshop, but then sadly put back when I looked at the price!
Then I had a HUGE box arrive from dear Morning's Minion in the States. I was horrified to see the cost of posting it, but the contents are all Sharon promised and MORE, including some CDs of books too . . . I am stunned at such generosity. There was even a piece of fabric which I am going to include in an autumn cushion shortly. Many, many thanks!
Thanks too, to the two Amazon sellers who managed to coincide their postings of two more Phil Rickman paperbacks to arrive together, and just as I am reaching the final pages of my Phil Rickman library book.
To top it all, I found £5 I'd forgotten about in a little-used bag, so I spent £2.70 on an American craft magazine, so I have plenty of inspiration.
Sadly, I also have plenty of germs still causing havoc in my brain, and the electric blanket in my bed is on as I write . . .
Edited to add a just-taken photo of the parcel of books that arrived last week, from my dear friend in the Forest over at her recently-started BLOG. We seem to share an interest in exactly the same literature, as did her late aunt, and some of whose library (including a few books shown above) have recently come my way, to my great delight. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends, and thank you all again.
