Won anything?

The "Primrose" umbrella arrived last week, thank you gransnet, it's a lovely, fun umbrella which my DGD will really like I'm sure. She'll be the only one wandering around in this lovely weather with an umbrella

Yes, mine came too yoga and I put my thanks on the Primrose thread, so I hope someone saw it.
Anyway ,thanks again, it's a really cute brolly

Just wanted to say a big 'Thank you' for my copy of 'Up With The Birds' by John Yeoman and beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake. I shall enjoy reading it to my grandchildren when they visit. Also a belated 'Thank You' for all the other free books that I've received for my own enjoyment, including 'The Middlesteins' (Jami Attenberg), 'House on Paradise Street (Sofka Zinovieff) and 'Restless' (William Boyd). I don't know if I'm luckier than some other Gransnetters but I almost always receive the freebies that I apply for so am truly grateful.

Received 'Up with the birds' yesterday - just in time to read it to my grandson who was staying over. Many thanks.

Thank you for my prize of Tomy toys which arrived today. I was so pleased as each of the three toys is the correct age group for my three grandchildren. Looking forward to watching them play with my prize. Thank you Gransnet

Thank you for my copy of Mr Lynch's Holiday which arrived today. I think I'm going to really enjoy it!

Thanks Gn my copy of Mr Lynch's Holiday which arrived today, I have had a busy week so this was a welcome delivery from the postman.

Thank you for my copy of Beautiful Ruins which arrived today. Totally unexpected. I have almost finished reading my present book so this came at the right time.

And me. Mine came today. Will read it after I've read the papers for this weeks tribunals. They look to be the equivalent of the entire Barchester chronicles!

I gave the Spy Package to younger grandson to-day. Within half an hour he had caught a drug dealer (!!!) and spent the rest of the afternoon on the trail of an unsavoury character who apparently has a bomb under his coat.

And he appears to have taken my magnifying glass home with him!

Many thanks for my copy of Beautiful Ruins, looking forward to reading it.

Thank you for my copy of Mr. Lynch's Holiday and also a very unexpected copy of Beautiful Ruins, can't wait to read them!

I've been meaning to post (but forgot because so much going on) to say thank you for the Spy Book I received, on behalf of the following : When I saw the book, I said to my 36 year old son, "I'm sure I recognise this book, did you have it?" (it is a re-issue of a vintage book). He replied "No, but A (his best friend when they were growing up) had one and we used it until it was dog eared". I don't have any grandchildren, so son took it to the autistic children's service where he volunteers, and he called me excitedly to say that "the book went down a storm here" and "I had my first hug and eye contact from XXX, thanks to the book". Thank you GN and the publishers for spreading the love!

Grannyknot. That is such a lovely story and seems like that book will be well used.

Just received two books by Rumer Godden which I am delighted to have won! Facetimed my Grandaughter to tell her this morning and she was amazed that books could be won! Of course she cannot wait for my next visit!
Thank you GN.

Thank you for the Rumer Godden books.Really made my weekend. I shall take them to my DGD on Thursday. I shall read them first, though!
