A Unexpected Gift from Afar by jamibann

A Unexpected Gift from Afar

Yesterday was a grey day, a very grey day, with lots of people in our village concerned about the impacts of the river bursting its banks. However, it would seem that although damage was done by the water, for the majority of people it was minimal.

Hubby was out most of the day helping with putting up flood gates, and sand bags and I was at home, staying dry and keeping the home fires burning. Literally.

It wasn't a good day. But, imagine my delight to receive a gift. An unexpected and oh, so, thoughtful gift. It made my day. And I knew who it was from when I saw the hare on the outside of the packet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - you know who you are.
What a lovely surprise, lucky you!

How very lovely. Have seen the news about the rains, hoping things ease very soon, so very worrying.

I might give an educated guess! 🤣 a lovely thought from a very thoughtful person whoever they are! Glad flooding hasn’t done quite as much damage as they thought although it looked terrible last night in the dark on the news. Good for all hands on deck helping out…the community needs them!

How sad to read, that the river went again over the banks and flooded parts of the town. I keep my fingers crossed, that there is not too much damage. And how nice, that you got this surprise, just this day.

I'm glad your job was to stay home and keep it, and yourself, warm.

@mona65 I was thinking of you so much on Friday, as the caravan site had to be evacuated. Having been there, you can imagine why. And the riverside path we walked has been partially destroyed again. However, things are looking up again, even if it is still grey and dull out there.
