To My Secret Pal, I am so sorry for the delay in sending to you - we were away for a fortnight in the Lake District, so the package had to be picked up from the Post Office on our return - and Monday was a Bank Holiday, so couldn't be picked up till Wednesday.
However - I am delighted, once again! The bobbin case is lovely - and as I was contemplating sorting out some of my stash of material to make another, it came just at the right time, as I can make more lace now, not bobbin cases! The chocolates received the seal of approval from the four grandchildren! (I managed to sneak a few too, and as chocolate covered peanuts are my favourites, they went down very well indeed.) The pin and the cloisonne bell are both delightful, so I am a very fortunate person indeed! The socks - I love them! They will be worn a lot, believe me! We have wood and tile floors in our house, and I tend to wear socks as slippers, but these will now be abused like that - they will be worn with shoes, so that they don't get more holey than righteous, too quickly! I am so looking forward to knowing who you are - this time, I really haven't any idea, but I love hearing your news and reading the cards. I expect you were so disappointed at not being able to go to the Kylie Minogue concert - I am sure we all wish her every success with the treatment, and hope that she'll be back fit and well, and performing very soon. I know what you mean when you say you want to spend as much time as you can with your Dad. I still have both my parents - in fact we spent the fortnight in the Lake District with them - and they only live in the next county, about two hours away, but even so, I think we all feel we don't see enough of each other. However - many thanks indeed for the May package, and I shall look forward to knowing just who you are this month.
