Hurrah!
Sounds like you've had a lovely week! The photo of the hotel in the New Forest - is that just outside Brockenhurst? It looks just like somewhere we drove past on recent trip to New Forest and I thought what an amazing looking hotel! Enjoy your new full time job - Margaret

It's so wonderful to be able to do what you love full time from home! Just wanted to say thanks for my parcel which arrived safe and sound in South Africa. I was so excited to get it in the post 2 days before my birthday! What a lovely surprise. Will definitely order from you again.
