Well done on your fundraising, that is really impressive, and a testament to all your hard work. Fizzy is a fitting reward. I love you and eldest as land girls, not at all your normal look but actually really suits you. Now, there's a few things i'm coveting (apart from the cakes). First up the basket, put me on the list, and secondly that piece of linen top left, blue with peeps on. What on earth is that piece of deliciousness?

I've almost been tempted to just nick one from a supermarket (some still use them) but none of them are as nice as yours. Love that cheerful tea towel with the dancing folk on, as well. <br /><br />(also, are you still having problems leaving comments on my blog?
