On a typical English summer morning (it's raining) the postman knocked and handed me a package, from Americaland, no less! On further inspection of the envelope I realised it was from The Lone Star State. This would no doubt be big!

Eagerly opening the parcel, I soon discovered four great books about, three themed on Dallas, Texas and one colouring book. I'd asked my Santa for something I could share and enjoy with my son and, well, brief fulfilled. As he's only 3 he does not read yet and the two photographic books will certainly go down well. I may keep the colouring book for myself. It looks fun.

Currently enjoying 100 Great Things About Texas. TIL in Texas, riding off into the sunset takes about a week.

Also really enjoyed the wee cover letter. The whole thing has brought some sunshine to a damp, overcast day.

Thank you Santa
