It's always nice to put a face to a name and although I'm very careful not to show my face, P's face, or DN's face on this blog (I HATE having my photo taken and nobody would want to see my fizzog anyway), I thought you might like to see P and I as depicted by his eight-year-old niece.
I have to say she's captured our likenesses pretty well, especially as she hasn't seen me in an awfully long time. The objects that look like deelly-boppers on the top of P's head are the arms of his glasses. I especially like the fact that she's drawn us holding hands!!
P's niece and nephew are really into giving handmade presents and P came back with a nice couple of items they had made for his recent birthday.
There is this long dangly doo-dah decorated with shells, corks and glass beads with a wooden boat at the bottom, and which will look very nice hanging from a tree or the shed door in the summer.
And a heart-shaped box decorated by the children and filled with delicious Swiss chocolates.
For his niece's birthday I sent over this child-sized knitted hat I made a while ago.
Apparently she was delighted with it, and was particularly taken by the fact that it was handmade and so nobody else would have one like it. Now, that's a girl after my own heart.
Well now I'll know who to look out for if ever we get to meet up!
