Prescription for Happiness

Received a couple of early Chrissy pressies today, when fellow witch Pat's most delicious Christmas cake arrived. Hooray! I brought it into the house, and my son sort of leapt on it. I kid you not. He said, 'Is this the cake we had last year?' and without waiting for a reply began to rip it open. 'I can smell it already!' he yelled (the alcohol, he meant... not that I'm raising a lush or anything...) and mmmm my stomach is rumbling as I type since I'm dying to dig in with a good dollop of cream!

Enclosed in the parcel was a copy of the People's Friend Story Collection, Prescription for Happiness by Patricia Posner, aka Our Pat! I'm hopping mad my digital camera isn't working, since I want to take a pic of the gorgeous cover and upload it here. But it's lovely, with the most adorable little girl on the front which is a good thing, since I'd always imagined little Pippa to be that cute!

So... Huge Congrats to Pat!

Awww, Karen
I'm so glad you like the cover; Pippa is just perfect, isn't she!

As for the cake, well, I must be a verrry bad influence on Oliver if he leaps on it to get at the gallons of alcohol I fed it with.
It always amazes me when it arrives safely and unopened by customs - my man at the Post Office could smell the booze through all the layers of packaging.
Err, you do KNOW it's not meant to be eaten before Christmas Day.
