A Treat!

 St David's Day.

We made Welsh cakes, 4 are going  to be sent to my G/son whose birthday is Friday.. Dh made them with me giving instructions, while sitting in the kitchen, knitting the second sock for my  G/son to send  as well.

When I spoke to my daughter after his birthday last year, he complained to her, that he hadn't had a present from her and his Dad, but that I had sent him hand knitted socks! They had sent him money, but it is still nice to receive something through the post it seems, even when you're in your twenties!

The Welsh cakes are delicious..
