There HAS to be ....

... another special blog entry, this time for Maria and Gerd who continue to shower me with "early birthday presents" in spite of all my protests that I don't wish for anything and certainly am not in need of anything - and most definitely cannot manage to eat all that chocolate!

I'm doing my very best to diminish the pile you two packed into my gorgeous little garden trug:

 

But since your visit all these lovely gifts have been delivered, the packaging alone is beautifully designed and the illustration are mouthwatering.

I can only send you a very big THANK YOU!
