I saved so many photographs and ideas for my last blog post of this wonderful year. I live in the South African highveld where the weather is renound for its spectaclar thunder storms at this time of year. Well, one big bolt of lightning struck our home and down went my computer..I would love to wish you all personally via email but all my addresses are on my computer. I have missed this space and realised how much this world has become a part of me..My father in law has lent me his lap top for a milli-second to wish you all a wonderful Christmas day tomorrow. I send all my love and look forward to a wonderful new year of friendships.
Love to you
Suzanne

Dear Suzanne, Have a very special day with your wonderful family. I can imagine the beautiful photos you and your family had to share with us, I remember the beautiful African skies so well. Last night we wrapped the last gifts and put little baby in his straw bed. My little boys who woke very early this morning excited to open their small gifts around the Christmas tree. Fabien had left a trampoline at the stables so we went on a little treasure hunt for it. Visiting the ducks, cows and horses along the way. Many blessings Suzanne, love Jeanene

Hi, Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI would like to send you an award! May I please snag a picture from your blog to illustrate my post? I will give you credit. love, Beth Happy New Year!
Dear Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteThe package containing my new book (Toad Cottages) and Tasha Tudor's autographed cook book were sent last week.
Unfortunately, I had to remove a note and a small faerie booklet because just that little bit would've made the cost of sending them over $40.00!! I had to do a reality check.
Sending love and hoping you'll soon be posting again.
Happy green wishes,
