GIFTS FROM GUERNSEY

Many years ago, when I first started work, I worked with a lady whose mother always used to say "If the Lord don't come, He sends!"  That was very true for me today.

After hydrotherapy yesterday my leg was quite sore and I was feeling a bit low in myself, so I didn't go to bed that early, in fact, it was 2.00 a.m. this morning when I eventually climbed the stairs;  then I was late getting up - so I shall be so pleased when I am back to normal!! Mr. HCB had gone up a long time before me, as he was feeling rather poorly and in fact, even this morning, isn't feeling that good.

I took a few photographs of some flowers, but thought that I should really leave them for tomorrow, as it's Flower Friday, then I had problems with my internet connection, so was feeling rather fed up.

Mr. HCB had been busy in the garden - having said that he felt better out in the fresh air - but had just come in when we heard the letterbox rattle.  Post!  I quickly tossed aside the circular from Debenhams telling me that their Summer Spectacular would give me 25% off in every department, when I saw a small envelope with a Guernsey stamp.

On opening the envelope, there was another well-sealed package inside and I couldn't wait to pull it apart - so ripped the paper off to find three cards, sent by a very dear friend.

They were just what I needed today and I was thrilled with mine - Mr. HCB was very impressed with his too - so thank you, K - you lifted my spirits and I now feel able to go out and meet the world and believe, me, I will SHINE today because of your kindness!

P.S.  If anyone thinks that Blip is a community just like any other, it's much more than that - the friends I have made on here are amazing and have been so supportive and kind - so thank you to you all - you're BLIPPING marvellous!
