She looks rather sweet and not scary at all (if she exists)

To be fair, we haven’t actually seen her, if she exists, only the copious amount of knitting a large quantity of which seems to still be ensuring the Leprechaun can’t escape.

She has been very kind with keeping us supplied with warm winter woolies

I must have a word with Montgomery and catch up with the gossip. I do hope the Leprechaun has learned to shut up in the Wool Spider’s presence

Travel souvenirs:
View attachment 256489

Weonard (left) and Wilfred live in our conservatory. Weonard is a Highland Cow (Scottish breed), but was bought in Herefordshire on the Welsh border. He’s named after the village of St Weonard’s where we stopped that day only because we had never heard of St Weonard. In those pre-internet days we figured we could find out if we went in the church, which we did. These days I can give you a link to Wikipedia :D

Wilfred is a water buffalo from @CarolM’s home town - Cape Town. He’s named after a taxi driver who was wonderfully kind to our children the day we bought Wilfred. They were hot, tired and grouchy and he found water and chocolate and teased and sang with them. We kept his card and used him for the rest of our stay there.

Beautiful!

Has anyone else got souvenirs with memories attached?

Let me get back to you on this one, although in the current home I might have only a few. Most of my life is still packed away in my in-laws' basement in Turkey. :)

Love how still the water is in the second one. Which could be a challenge if you're taking pictures from a kayak! Beautiful colors!

Not bored. Glad Oli was scared of war. War is never good.
It is Wednesday so not much to report. I did buy the xmas cards for my list. And part of my present for my secret recipient. So yay. Now to write in them and post the cards. Then maybe a few more other items. And I will be able to post my secret gift.
Good progress! I did my shopping yesterday too! All cards are ready, except those for Linda and Sabine. Those probably need less than a week to reach the recipient. :) Now I need to post them.

Have a safe trip, Linda! :)

Thank you :)

I hope you enjoy the trip with me. Wrap up warm. It’s a bit chilly over there (the stockpile of mittens and scarves seems to be in corner 7 at the moment) There’s snow forecast for Wednesday but we’ll be home by then

It didn’t go entirely to plan. Elsa fell asleep so Jacques had to finish the draw [emoji849]

You’re welcome to join the cards if you wish :)

And Bea will be organising the unwrapping day for the TORTOISE presents... though she’s always been the worst for wanting to unwrap them early :D
Which is why whoever got Bea should send her present last! ;) @Moozillion ;)

I received a parcel from the absolutely incredible Sabine today. @Bee62 . :<3:
WOW ! ! ! ! ! !
It weighed about 10 kg, nearly killed me getting it back from the Post office. (not that I'm complaining)

Close up of the really exciting coffee.

Good Morning all,

Just two more sleeps then we are on weekend. Sorry Lena, you still have 4 more sleeps then you can have your break. Linda I hope your travels are safe and that you have an awesome time. I am looking forward to the postcards. I was going to do my voting this morning, but still need to check if there are still missing entrants.

I know, the weekend is dangerously close! :(
Daughter's off school today as she might be getting sick, so you could say my weekend has started already! :( :( :(
