Hello everyone :) Sorry I am so late showing my 3rd advent gifts but I am unwell at the moment. I have arthritis in both my knees and a few days after I returned from Madrid I had very severe pain in my left knee it is very swelled and so painful that I find it difficult to even get out of bed. I am on medication now that leaves me tired with very little energy so please forgive me if I don't make many comments I am trying to read them all but just don't have the energy to comment. I have had blood test and have to go for x-rays in a few days time. Lucky I have my family close by so Christmas wont be a complete disaster lol. I opened some beautiful gifts on Sunday and they cheered me up a lot :)
From Leena the books are beautiful Thank you Leena.

From Drora cute slippers and one of her wonderful baskets. Thank you very much Drora I love your baskets.

From Kikka my initials how cool and thoughtful and a fantastic chopping board with kitchen knife. Thank you Kikka beautiful gifts.

From Fabiola fantastic gifts. I love the chicken sign as I have a chicken themed kitchen in mind. Thank you Faby

These were all taken while I was propped up in bed lol Not to bad yea :-D

I was also very lucky to get a wonderful package from a wonderful generous friend all the way from the Ukraine. Here is what Tatiana sent me.

A fantastic cooler and stuffed inside lots of beautiful beads.

The basket and try are gorgeous .

Now about my trip to Madrid WOW what a fantastic time I had I met sooo many people and got sooo many hugs lol everyone made me feel so welcome and though I have not a word of Spanish I enjoyed my time with everyone. I want to say a special  thanks to  Paky  and her husband and Susi whom I bumped into many times over the two days and were always ready with a smile and words of encouragement :) It was an honour to meet you all. Sadly I did not get to meet all the blog friends at the fair it was so much Bigger than I imagined and I don't have any Spanish Who knows maybe next time ;-D  I did get a few pictures I would have loved more but I was truth to tell a little overwhelmed and took non the first day.

Lovely to meet you Paky
