My mum is Welsh and she loved it.  The closest Burger King to Llanfar PG is
at Bangor (pronounced Banga).  When I was in Wales and got lost (which was
often), I always headed to the closest Burger King so that I could work out
the way home!!

dear secret pal 

sorry it took me so long to acknowledge your parcel but i only got my computer 
back yesterday .

it was a super good idea to send me a pillow cover and the fact it's not pink 
will not deter me from using it ... 

i spent a week making lace in Bruges and the pink flowery bobbin "holder" was 
very much admired by my fellow lacers .. I was able to put just the right 
number of bobbins in it and it looked just as nice as it was useful .. 
well you certainly found the way of having somebody thinking of you every time 
she makes lace ... 

dominique the happy lacer ..  in a sunny Paris .

George Phillips of Meridian Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told
him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from
the bedroom window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were
people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police and told them that there were burglars in his shed.

The officer asked, "Is someone in your house?" and George said no.

The officer replied that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock
his door and an officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my
shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them
all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an
ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught
the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot
them!" George said,  "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

To my wonderful Secret Pal in the U.K.

Thank you soo much for you wonderful package that arrived today.  I am off
work today and it was so lovely to be able to collect the package from the
letter box myself.  The dolphin is beautiful, as are the bobbins.. such lovely
spangles.  The cards are intriguing!! This is the first time I have seen
anything like it.  I love the patterns, and look forward to the opportunity to
try them out!!   I have to finish my daughters tablecloth (another hardanger
one) but I am hanging out to get onto some lace!  the wee chain tag is so
cute, as are the other little cat and penguin.  where do you find all these
little treasures?

Once again I thank you for spoiling me so much.  I am looking forward to the
formal introduction next month :-)
