Bit of a late thank you

Sorry Secret Pal for the delay in posting to the blog. Thank you for the gifts you sent for October. As usual you were extremely generous and everything is lovely. The fans were quickly swiped away by Abi who suddenly seems to be going through a very girly, dressing up phase- what happened to my tough little tomboy?! My own favourite this month is the lovely book, 'At the Beach' , which is a story of a little boy whose mother shows him how to draw various Chinese characters in the sand at the beach. I also love the scroll and will definitely hang that up in 'Baby Xiao Xiao's' nursery once we begin it!
