Giveaway Winner

First of all, thank you all so much for entering my giveaway draw. Some of my blog-heroes entered, which made me feel most amazed and happy! I am so grateful for the inspiration I get from your wonderful blogs. You are all so talented, clever and passionate! My lovely children, Matthew and Ella, were very happy to help me draw the winner's name.
We did it the low-tech way by putting all the names in a bowl and Matthew drew the winner.Congratulations to Francesca (Chipironini) who is the winner of the draw. So the parcel is off to Madrid!

Blogging can be quite addictive! I've struggled to "wait" until today to do another post. AND it can be a bit of a timewaster. I spent absolutely ages yesterday trying to figure out how to add a translating button onto this blog but I finally figured it out. And as for blog makeovers..... (!!!!)....well, once you get started you pretty well have to keep going until you finish. So now I have a made-over blog but it took me so long that I don't know if I'll do it again in a hurry!

'Fess up time is coming....I've been doing some shopping! Now that the sun has finally come out (it's been a rainy, wet, cold winter here so far), I can get some good photos and show you some little bits and pieces.....
