December 5th

This morning I was in my kitchen busily writing my to-do-list when I heard the doorbell.


- It is open, come on in!
- It's me, Bernard!
- Welcome! But it is Saturday, surely you are not working today?
- But I am! I have a big parcel for you, I think this is what you have been waiting for...


- Oh Bernard, could it really be...?


- Please take a seat for a while, I will make you a nice cup of tea but I just have to open...


- Oh yes! It is my new rolling pin and set of gingerbread moulds! This is wonderful, now I can make the gingerbread decoration for Anabel's birthday, I already got the dough, but I was just wondering what to do with it without these, thank you so much Bernard! Let me just hug you!


- Now, now, thank you, just doing my job! That cup of tea would be quite enough, huh?
- Oh yes, coming right up!


- By the way, is that a new uniform, Bernard? I don't think I have seen it on you before?
- But it is, I just got it yesterday! Let me show it to you, it comes with a matching beret, and look, the jacket has been tail-ored, ha, to suit me perfectly!


- I love it!
- But now I must run, thanks for the tea, I'll see you tomorrow at Anabel's birthday?
- Sure, sure, and you'll get to taste my baking tomorrow too. Thank you still once!
- No problem, just being a good Postie! See you tomorrow!

After Bernard left, I tackled my gingerbread dough. And I baked, and baked, and baked... Quite a few trays of gorgeously smelling gingerbread hearts, stars and flowers.


Phew! That rolling was pretty hard work!


- Yes! Remembered to make wholes for strings before baking! 


And while those happy treats were baked and then cooled, I ticked off all things from my to-do-list! The very last thing was to decorate those gingerbread, and it was such fun! I only need to attach those strings tomorrow. Now I am all ready for the bed - and also for Anabel's birthday-party tomorrow! See you there!

Kumpa meidän posteljooni olisi noin ahkera! Komea uniformu ja mainio tuo saparon paikka. Voi Anna, toivottavasti minun piparit huomenna onnistuu yhtä hyvin! Mukavaa lauantai-iltaa!

Hei Marle!

Bernard on Riverlandin ainoa posteljooni, joten kiirettä piisaa :) mutta myös tarinointia tuttujen kanssa ja teekupposia! Ihanaa viikonloppua, ja mukavia leipomishetkiä!

Hei Anna, kylläpä pipareista tuli kauniita ja varmaan ovat yhtä herkullisia kuin ovat näköisiäkin. Oli kiva tutustua Bernardiin, niin hieno uniformu ja on oikein mittojen mukaan tehtykin. Voi kun meilläkin olisi yhtä fiksusti pukeutuneita postinkantajia! Odotamme innolla huomisia synttärijuhlia! Hei vaan taas huomiseen ja Mialle terveisiä!x Anneli

Mia said...

Hei Anneli!

Kiitos ihanasta kommentistasi, erityisesti Bernard on ollut otettu siitä, että uniformusta on tykätty. Hän muistuttaa, että on Riverlandin ainoa postinkantaja, joten asuunkin on satsattu :)

Ihanaa viikonloppua, näkemisiin huomenna!

Anna (ja terkkuja Mialta myös!)

How cute is Postie Bernard! So nice that he was able to deliver your parcel and what a nice rolling pin. Just in time for baking, love the gingerbread ornaments! See you at the party! xoxoRobin

Hello Robin,

Bernard thanks and bows, he has had some really lovely comments, he is so happy! And those gingerbread cookies were a hit, they smelled wonderful at the party, and quite many were eaten too :)

Happy new week soon, welcome to Riverland again!

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
