NEIGHBOURS



 Our lovely neighbours have just been away for ten days and we collected their mail for them.  They flew to Paris and then travelled on to Barcelona.  She was giving a presentation at the Barcelona Conference on Education and he went to keep her company.  

What with the long flights between New Zealand and Paris where they spent 3 days and then travelling down to Barcelona they did not have a lot of spare time.  

In spite of this she went to the trouble of bringing a small gift back for us and had, obviously, gone to a lot of trouble to find the right item.



It is the perfect choice as we don't usually have salt and pepper on the table as I use kelp salt from a re-used spice jar while cooking and needed a nice set for when we have visitors.  It already has salt in and I will buy some pepper on my next shop as we only have peppercorns.

    1. Yes, even though she was speaking at a worldwide Conference she still found time to buy something.

    1. It was the fact that she took time out of her busy schedule on a short trip that shows her kindness.

    1. I think so. They are so busy we have hardly seen them since they got back.
