My parents always made a massive fuss over Christmas’ and birthdays.  Every year was a magical land of surprises (and if I’m honest it still pretty much is – I’m keeping the parents tuned in to these “traditions” until they have grandchildren!!).  This dedication from my parents has instilled in me the need / want to make things special for other people.  I love to buy gifts.  I love to give gifts.  I love to wrap gifts.  I love to receive gifts – but I do love to give them more.  I get some kind of crazy satisfaction or thrill from stumbling accross the perfect gift or wrapping a beautiful parcel.  I think I’m actually crazy.

But Valentine’s Day is not just around the corner.  My gifts are all wrapped and just waiting for me to get chance to go to the post office – I hope to do this tomorrow or Wednesday.  Just be prepared for a belated Valentin’e gift as I can’t control the postal service (and my carrier pigeons are on their winter holiday) – although there’s a chance I could do a better job that the postal service should airlines decide to give UK bloggers some freebies!?

Anyhoo, if you have signed yourself up for a V-day gift from me….get excited…they’ll be on their way soon.

(Footnote:  There’s nothing edible included…but I might surprise you in the future!)
