Dear S.P. from Hants,
Your package arrive and I am delighted with all enclosed. I got a real chuckle
out of the strawberry hankie and are grown and known in your area of the U.K.
We also are in a strawberry grown area! in fact have a Strawberry Festival
every year! That they were much more plentiful when there were fewer houses.
Most of the local farm land is lost to tacky, all jammed, tight in a row
houses which are rapidly thrown together, too small for growing families and
and way over priced. I grew up in this area and remember large fields of
strawberries in season, as well as other fresh veggies. The high prices do
wonders for housing values, but I would hate to live in them. back yards with
no place to play, just a carport wide!
I wanted to tell you how many "ohs, ahs" I received last night when I was
showing off the things my S.P. had sent from the U.K.! The earrings made their
eyes pop along with the key ring with the tatted butterfly. And everyone
wanted to know just where I got my bobbin bag. The glass bobbin was also a
hit, most had not seen one close( and certainly not as pretty as the one you
sent!) And the mini bobbins, so cute!
I did not have a lace roller, its perfect. And I will enjoy using the drafting
pen for prickings.
The tea gets you going, no doubt! and the candies are a sweet surprise.
Many Thanks for All you gifts. I look forward to knowing WHO you are next
month. Rest assured I will stay in touch with such a great friend!
Hope that your holiday in Cornwall is the greatest. I have been there, stopped
to have tea at Boddin Moor and  we touring at Tintagle castle ruins. Loved the
area. Can say for sure looking out over the sea, that I had been one of the
Pilgrims who wanted to leave England and I saw just how BIG the ocean looked
with no land in sight, knowing how seasick I get, I would STILL be in England!
I have toured one of the "tall  ships" here and I could not make a journey in
one of those ships! I don't even do well on a big cruise ship!
Happy Holiday and again many thanks for all your great gifts.
Hugs
Ysandra
