Lucky Lucky...!!!


A couple of weeks ago,
during one of those mornings
in the holidays
when you lounge around in your jim-jams,
the boys and I were lay on my bed
enjoying looking at Floss' holiday photos together.

One of her sons had enjoyed
making up a little competition
where you had to guess what the
picture is of.

We had a giggle guessing and
sent a comment with our suggestions.

WE WON!

I did tell Floss that we didn't need a prize.
That we had just enjoyed guessing.

But...
the little minx!

Sent this today.



With it's French stamps and
labels on, I thought there is
only one person who
could've sent this!!!



We opened up this exciting parcel together.



More lovely-ness French-ness...

Beautiful and colourful maps,
in French!
(which Finn has whipped away,
upstairs to keep!)

Floss has obviously been reading
my last few posts,
seeing how I have gone
'Dog - Mad!'



You tinker you, Floss!
(CK - eek!)



Thank you so much. xxx



A prize for the boys too!
How did you know,
they're science experiments and bugs mad!
Oh yes, you have 2 boys of your own,
I guess you just
 'get to know these things.'

So there they are.
Here in Blighty,
all very gratefully received,
and now living at the foot of the peak district,
in my little (untidy) home.

Fankoo!

Next...

Another little Tinker
has given me an award!

No problem - I'd promised Son 1 that his winner(s) would get a prize! I'm so glad that they've reached you at have gone down so well. Indeed, having two boys, it's kind of easy to guess what your two like!
