Got home from a really long day on this freezing cold evening and found a cheery Christmas note from my postman, informing me that I might want to check behind my landlady's old car! Sneakily tucked away I found this intriguing package from amazon!

My brother had made me promise to phone him when it arrived. I called him for an excited chat, but then had to hang up on him so I could use the camera phone! Suspense!

IT WAS 3 BRILLIANT BOOKS! I LOVE BOOKS!

1) The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck - nice work with the stalking, one of my favourite authors but strangely I haven't read this one! Beautiful penguin edition too.

2) Mindfulness book "Wherever you go, there you are" by Mindfulness guru Jon Kabat-Zinn. Funnily enough this was one of the recommended books from my mindfulness course! Looking forward to diving in!

3) The rough guide to The Netherlands. I wasn't sure how my santa had stalked this one until I read the dispatch note and realised he is from there! I've only been to Amsterdam once for two days and really want to go again - this time in tulip season. Will let you know when I do.

THANKS SANTA!
