…and my dream just came true! I’m an emotional person but even so it’s not often that I’m moved to tears over unexpected kindnesses. This morning though, I was blubbing like a good’un as I opened an unexpected package to find this from Raspberry...

How do you find the words to really thank someone for such a
spontaneous and generous gift? I feel quite overwhelmed by warm
feelings of goodwill and a lovely sense of the goodness that some
people have at the centre of their being. I’ve only been blogging since
September and yet through blogging I’ve felt part of something special –
a collection of warm, honest and creative people with big hearts and
quick wits and this is embodied by Alice and her generous, beautiful
gift. I had admired this piece greatly – it’s so beautifully subtle and evocative and I’d asked about buying it. I thought that she had sold it and then today it arrived! Thank you so much Alice, whenever I
look at ‘Snowy Fields’ I’ll remember how I feel right now and know
there’s hope for us all and the world in which we live. Have a very Happy Christmas everyone and especially you Alice.
Yes I agree that this piece really is special, you are as lucky as mrs lucky of lucky village in lucky land! What a lovely thing to receive, such a good example of the real spirit of Christmas.
