• “I would absolutely LOVE a woolly hugs blanket! I have over the years heard about you amazing ladies. Seeing the pictures they are absolutely beautiful.
My husband was half French and so French related things would be good. Other hobbies were Arsenal, Tour de France, Elvis, the Beatles, and gardening. He also loved totrtoises. Our initials are H, E, L and P (!)
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am!
Thank you so much xxx” *
