Pause for Lent and a really BIG thank you!

Firstly, if you're here to "pause" you're in the wrong place! I have two blogs, but as this one is a Google blog people get diverted here from the comments. I have my "thoughts" blog over at The View from the Teapot. I hope to see you there.

Here, though, I want to say a big Thank You to Ang from Tracing Rainbows for the lovely, lovely Giveaway gift that I received. I'm afraid I had ripped open the envelope before I thought of my blogging friends, and taking photos, but then I slowed down and savoured my gift.
Millie shows some interest in my present, sitting on top of the bookcase.
Inside there was a handtowel, embroidered with my name - there's posh! Three cookery booklet/magazines - I'll have to try to incorporate the recipes into my River Cottage Experiment as well! A lovely little coaster for my coffee cup, which will be in my study as soon as I remember to bring it upstairs. A tube of shower gel - useful for travelling, and some sticky, shiny stars, which will be used in crafting.

A selection of postcards was also included, which I will delight in using for one of my "Lenten disciplines" (see my PiL post for more details of that)
and - oh, aren't I lucky!? - a book of poems and a beautiful bookmark. The bookmark is already in use, but I do fear for its safety from the Very Bad Kittens who love beady, pretty things. I have flicked through the poetry book, and already found one poem I'd like to share with you, but I'm sure the others will be equally thought provoking.
So, all I can say to Ang, is a heart felt
 

for your generosity. I feel very blessed.

  3. Thank you for your comment on my blog. It always amazes me how many people have a connection to a place - the World really is a small place. Love the photo of your cat! I think there's something special about tabby cats.
