Thankyou sooo much for the clothes for the children x I’ve been rather busy this week – so I’ve not been able to write up the blog until now. I am on leave from work for three weeks because I have two visitors from the UK. They came with two suitcases each, but only one was for their own belongings. The other suitcases were mainly full of clothes for the children here. Thankyou sooo much to all those people who sent clothes– believe me they will be fully used here.Phil also brought lots of gizmos to play with!The living room at the Hacienda was full of baby clothes, boys clothes, girls clothes and lots of lovely football shirts collected by a young friend and a lovely lady in the Salvation Army Shop in Flimby. Thank you.We went to visit the office where I work and Wendy soon made herself at home. My sister, Wendy sitting at my office deskYou will also see an orange box on the table - not only did I receive gifts from suitcases this week but also a parcel through the post! Thank you Ann, lovely chocolate, cereal bars AND (my favourite) Kettle Crisps - Cracked Peppercorn. I'm not sharing them with my visitors!!Pictures on the wall above my deskI hope you can spot the postcards of Blackpool sent to me by the lovely Christine! For those of you who don't know, Blackpool is my home town where I was born. When I look at the postcards it reminds me of my Blackpool family.This was the first day of our holiday and following our visit to the office, we went to the market, bought some fabric and went straight to the dressmakers to ask her to make two dresses for my sisters.I have so much more to write about because it's been a very exciting two weeks. But my blog must wait a little while again...
