Blog Hub Swap - final day!

Last day, and I'm sad that I have no more parcels to open, this has been such a fun swap *grins*

I was particularly intrigued by this package, because the last thing on the list of must-be-included-items for the swap was "a local delicacy". Well, this package was flat, so I had no idea what it could be!

Then I opened it and read the note, and it all made sense. You see, Tink lives about an hour away from me, and made the very good point that anything she can get where she lives, there's a pretty good chance I can get where I live too *laughs* So instead of sending me something that wouldn't be unusual or exciting, she sent me this:


You might recognise the image from my sidebar - a while ago I came up with the idea of dusting off my unused cookbooks and actually making some of the recipes (which reminds me, I haven't done one for ages!) Well, Tink decided to join me in my challenge, and has made some gorgeous sounding recipes from her books.

So, in honour of the challenge, and the fact that today's gift should have a food theme, she made me a mini cookbook of some of her favourite recipes that have come out of the challenge. I was blown away by how thoughtful and sweet this gift is, and must declare that I wish to internet-marry Tink right now *laughs*



Thank you, I love it.

I have been so lucky with this swap. I've received some amazing presents to open, so thoughtful and perfect for me, and I hope everyone else participating has had as much fun as I have.
