Parcel from a Panda
Emily and I had a lovely surprise the other day with a HUGE parcel from my friend Tamara, who lives in Canada. I don't know who was more excited, me or Emily! She sent the most wonderful cushion which she had woven herself - as you can see from the pics Em took a liking to it straight away and any photo I took of it doesn't do it justice, it really is amazing. Also in the parcel were so many goodies, books for Em, choccies, zoo animals and even some mounty socks!!
In case you are wondering about the title of this post, Tamara and I, for many years have had kind of pet names for each other. Its really quite funny and not as sad as it sounds! We met years ago, when she was travelling and we worked at the same place. Neither of us fitted in and so we kind of bonded as allies and then became very good friends. One day, at work we were extremely bored and spent most of the time playing the game 'if they were an animal, what animal would they be?' This caused us endless amusement and satisfaction with pairing each member of staff with their animal counterpart. Suffice to say Tamara became Panda and I became Bunny. I can't quite explain it but it was funny at the time and somehow it stuck!
So thank you so much Panda - you spoiled us! Can't wait to see you in September x
