I love it all.......

My parcel arrived today - the one that was half expected. After all, none of us had to do this - we wanted to particpate for the pleasure of sending rather than receiving............. We are all participants in 'Alices swop'http://fancifulalice.blogspot.com/2010/01/swap-swap-swap.html and it certainly did for me just what Alice was hoping - it brought a smile and a lot of pleasure during this long cold winter.
Debbie had gone to a lot of trouble with each item and I loved it all. I especially loved all the trouble she had gone to in explaining her reasons for each item. My heart felt thanks go out to you xx

My parcel is on its way to Nova Scotia but it will do doubt take a bit longer to get there. I got great pleasure in choosing each item, I hope I have done Shelagh justice.

Thanks Alice, you and Debbie made my day!

Remind me again why I enjoyed London...........

During 2008 I worked on a six month contract in central London. I travelled from the island each Monday and back on Friday evening. It was mostly during the summer so I didn't have bad weather to contend with and most early mornings were made special by the pleasant walk along Ryde pier. I can honestly say, I really enjoyed that work time!
This week I made an overnight trip to London to go to the theatre will my niece. I know it's different as it's still winter but by lunchtime on the second day I couldn't get home fast enough......... If it wasnt for the fact I was meeting two good friends I would have been home a lot earlier. Not sure what has changed - is it me, or is it London?

Already have a further short trip booked later in February - will it be my last one for a while? Am I falling out of love with the big smoke? Time will tell.............
