My Auntie Pam

I don't normally go off piste so to speak, preferring to stick to gardening topics, but this week I've had a very special gift and wanted to share it with you all. As you can see from the photo I was lucky to receive this beautiful hand made blanket from my auntie Pam, I think it's one of the nicest presents I've ever been given. The work involved must have taken hours and it will be a treasured possession. I'm not sure about the suggestion that it travel up to Edinburgh with my daughter when she goes to university though, the state of her bedroom at home does not warrant such a pretty thing!
Auntie Pam mentions in her card that she recently put  one on e-bay and it sold within four hours, I'm not at all surprised, everyone would want a blanket made with such care.
So a big thank you to auntie Pam and uncle Bill for my lovely birthday present.
