My unexpected kindness has been that Soop has painted a beautiful portrait of my labrador Emma and it arrived today. It's really lovely and has captured the essence of Emma perfectly. It was so very kind of Soop and I'm tickled pink, I'll treasure it forever.
An unexpected kindness just warms your heart and brightens up everything. flowers sunshine for lovely Soop thank you soooooo much.

Oh, that is lovely! I will admit to not being a naturally easy giver - ashamed to say I often expected something in return. Burnt a few times is my excuse for having been that way. But I've been working hard again on giving for giving's sake - and to see the joy on others' faces. And I'm realising just how wonderful it is.

Soop seems to be a very kind woman.

Neptune - like the quality of mercy - blesses the giver and the receiver.

Very lovely indeed, as is the portrait. Soop is as talented as she is kind.

Some people are consistently kind and generous, with lovely gifts like your portrait and with their thoughtful, caring manner. How fantastic to receive a surprise like this from soop Her artistic talents are endless. smile

How lovely for you, Happynan1, and how lovely of you Soop. And lovely for us all to have something so nice to smile about. smile flowers

My friend who comes in to help with the garden brought me a summertime of lovely veggies, salads and fruits from his allotment this year. We moved recently and the new garden is not ready for growing our own just yet so that was a wonderful gesture. Lovely man! smile
