Santa Claus has been to town
Hello everyone! I made it home safely. As much as I enjoyed my travels, it's good to be home. I missed my family, and my cats and dogs, and being surrounded by all my books.
I had a wonderful time last weekend. Scotland surpassed my expectations, which were high to begin with. Edinburgh is quite possible the most beautiful city I've ever been to. I'll post some pictures later, of course. Right now I just want to share what I found waiting for me when I got home - my Secret Santa gift:
I see that a lot of you also got your gifts in the time I was absent. I can't wait to find out what everyone got. I'll catch up on all your blogs soon, but I need to catch up on sleep first. I spent all of last night at the airport, so I'm quite exhausted.

Chris: It IS perfect, isn't it? I remember that the very first "talk" I had with JP was about Discworld, which makes this gift even greater!

ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I am glad you had a good time. And what a great gift! I'm so glad you decided to host the exchange. It was a great idea, Nymeth.
ReplyDeleteaha--found my answer to a previous question. Glad you had such a great time in UK--your pictures of Scotland are gorgeous. I love the one of the bronze stag against the setting sun.
