Apples

I received a lovely gift today, quite unexpectedly, for which I am very grateful.

Nancy gave me a bag of delicious cooking apples, fresh from her brother's neighbour's tree!!

I never think to buy cooking apples. I do, occasionally, cook with eating apples, but it's never the same, is it?

It was just lovely to have this unexpected windfall (literally!!!), and the resultant apple and raspberry crumble was even more lovely!

It just got me thinking about gifts in general. They don't have to cost the earth to be worth a pot of gold! The thought that goes before the gift is what is important. And it seems that the thought can cause more ripples than you think! I bet Nancy's brother's neighbour didn't realise, when he picked those apples, just how many lives he would touch by his thoughtfulness.

Worth thinking about!!!

Gratefully yours.
