Riki Rocks

My UK donation arrived! VERY excited and loved unpacking all the gorg English goodies that Riki managed to collect on behalf of BB. Thanks to all the Brits and soutpiele ex South Africans like beloved cooksister Jeanne who even included 2 very important chocs for me, as well as some cute baba stuff. I am not sure who sent the wool but BONUS, we always need wool as I have many elderly people who love to knit for us but are unable to afford the cost of the wool.

Also yay for the blankets, the packs of pampers, baby products, wetwipes and cloth diapers. I guess I am speaking English now and not American so nappies, thanks for the nappies!

Nolene also gets a big shout out as she brought the 3 bog boxes out with her to SA. Riki I really appreciate your initiative in collecting the clothes for us and going to all the effort, time and trouble. I know you will be extra blessed in blessing us so much! Last week Auntie Gerry, an elderly very funky English lady sent out a whole bunch of knitted jerseys with my friend Lynne so am LOVING the Brits right now. Fickle hey…. !   I have American donors to thank too but this year page is for the Poms so another time.

Thanks my friends, my BEST friends!

Mel - Just very glad that it all arrived and thanks to the many UK based ladies and my dear friend Noeleen who helped me with this dream and who knows and understands how difficult it is - thanks Chooks ! I'm going to CPT for Xmas ... if you can help, pls contact me.

Mel - when you give these little gifts to Moms, plese remind them that we are MOTHERS first and foremost and we share the love of mothers the world over.

Hugs and kisses to all Mommies xxx

Those Brits! They ROCK! I lived there for 4 years, worked alongside them, and a million other South Africans, and not once, ever, did any Englishman give me a hard time about there being so many of us over there. They were so polite and accomodating.

My son was born there and I recieved such awsome care whilst in labour. They really are a lovely bunch. (pity about the weather though. ;-) )

Yaaaay! Glad you got it. The wool came from a lovely Kiwi food blogger here in London, Christina from The Thorngrove Table (http://thorngrove.typepad.com/) - she'll be thrilled to hear it will come in useful for BB. And I'm glad you liked the chocs - I thought YOU deserved a little parcel of care too, seeing as you are always giving to others :) You rock.
