The kindness of a friend....

I had a lovely surprise package arrive at my new abode earlier this week courtesy of the lovely Lynda aka Hookin' with LaaLaa.

This is what I received...

All beautifully wrapped!

In no time at all, I had frantically carefully unwrapped all of the gifts.

A beautiful 'God Save the Queen' card

An Emma Bridgewater tin

A Cath Kidston tote bag

Union Jack Salt & Pepper

These chocs were gorgeous (yes they have all gone - and I didn't share!)

A coaster

Aren't these the best - Especially as I love owls!

Emma Bridgewater tea cosy with teabags and shortbread (again, all gone!!))

A tea towel

Keep Calm goodies! Keyring, Magnet and some M & S chocolates

I love this magazine

Thank you so much Lynda.

  Your kindness is overwhelming and I would just like to say a big Thank you x and send a massive Hug your way x

I have a day of making Gingerbread men like these...

for a lady in the US.  

Some cupcakes...

These are the first to be baked in my new oven.  I have to say I am very pleased with it.  The oven at the previous address was very very old but was the best, so I had gone a little nuts as I worried that my cakes would never be as good but, family of tasters confirmed that all is okay!

Oh yes!! I nearly forgot!  The boiler man turned up yesterday morning and I can confirm that it is all fixed!!!!

Yay!!

Last night I languished in a very hot bath which smelt gorgeous as I used the bath bomb that Beki had sent me in the Free for All Swap that she had organised.

And Finally...

If you love a bargain!

Sainsbury's have reduced these down to £3.60  (in store)

Have a great day x
