We've received lots of flowers from kind friends and family in the last couple of weeks but today I found an even more exciting parcel outside our front door - an edible gift in the form of a box of giant muffins! I was very restrained and managed to resist the temptation to tuck in until Mr W got home from work but don't expect they will last very long!

A while ago my parents gave us some garden vouchers, so today we finally went to garden centre to spend them - we ordered a bench but whilst we were there we also bought a mini table for our drinks when we make camp in the garden!

My parents very kindly bought us several presents back from their world trip and this was one of them - a furry brown kiwi that makes the appropriate sound when you press its tummy!

For my parents ruby wedding anniversary we decided to create a photo book for them documenting their 40 years of marriage, so whilst they were on their travels we raided their photo collection for suitable images and this is the final product...

Most people take wine, chocolates or flowers when they visit friends for lunch, today however we took a mango when we went to visit one of Stephen's work colleagues and her family. We did also take the usual flowers and chocolates but the mango was for their two-year old son as apparently mangoes are his favourite fruit!

Last week Mr W bought me the first three books in the Twilight series - the books look lovely with sleek cover illustrations and red edging on the pages, but I wasn't sure they would be my cup of tea. Happily though I was wrong and less than a week later I'm already half-way through the first book!

Each autumn at Brownies we prepare charity Christmas gift boxes for underpriviliged children around the world. This year our boxes are going to local charity Smile International.
Here is my box for an 8 year old boy which includes, amongst other things, pants and socks, toothbrush and toothpaste, soap and flannel, colouring pens and pencils, notebooks, sweets, a mini football and some lego.
