A personal touch

It's about time I got back to doing some work for a change. I have not done anything constructive for about 2 weeks now, but there is a good reason for that.

My son-in-law and grand daughter were visiting for a week from the UK, I took them back to the airport last Friday. Now, anyone with grand children will understand, nothing else exists in the time that you spend with them. And the week before, I was just busy with something else.(ok, so maybe I've also been a bit lazy)

The festive season is once again upon us, and with this comes the question of gifts. A few years ago my wife and I decided that buying gifts for everyone was becoming rather expensive, and trying to find the right stuff is always a nightmare, so Marian decided to make gifts(she is very talented), and that is what we've done ever since. We also found that the home-made gifts are more appreciated, because of the personal touch(a lesson in marketing).

So, here are just a few things that she has made:

Hand bags made from used tea bags


Serving spoons made with shells

A variety of home-made candles.


Carved Ostrich eggs.

And loads more stuff, you get the idea.

Until next time, stay safe out there,

John.
