To my Secret Pal, Well what a lovely surprise. We had a note thro' the door that there was a package to be picked up at the Post Office, so off I toddled, and I was thrilled when I opened it. The sweets were a treat - they didn't do the diabetes any harm, as we had our three grandchildren with

Hello to my Not-So-Secret Pal! It is so good to know now who you are, and I am thrilled with the wire lace kit - I had wondered whether to invest when I saw some for sale at the Lace Guild convention, and resisted temptation, so Providence has smiled upon me, in the shape of you! I will write

To My Secret Pal, I was dleighted with the Cathedral postcard - I tend to keep ones like that in my Missal, so every time I use it I will beb thinking of you. The stamps were a delight too - I wonder whether the UK postal service will ever get round to an issue with stamps on them, as these are
