It is a time of waiting for the arrival of Christmas and is associated mainly with Advent Calendars and in particular the fun of opening to see what is revealed behind each number!

This is my favourite time of the year, long days with hopefully lots of sunshine. To celebrate my 400th blog post and of course Summer, I am giving away the items below. A post shuttle made out of Rosewood together with some other Summer related items. So simply make one comment (together with an easy way to find you blog or e.mail) and I will use a random number generator to choose the winner. You have until Monday 29th June here in the UK, I will announce the winner on Tuesday. This giveaway is open to anyone in the world, in fact whenever I have given items away in the past the winner has never been in the UK or anywhere in Europe! Just one condition on your comment just say something you like or hate about Summer!! Good Luck!
