Fair trade???

Chocolate brownies


for a large tv!!


Our good friends Richard and Shona, who we've known since we arrived in Sydney (Richard was our Bishop in our last ward) took us out for some Indian and some Cold Rock ice cream on Friday night.  As they walked into our lounge room they noticed our rather small tv and told us right then and there that we were to inherit their rather large sony tv as they had just upgraded to a flat screen and needed to pass on their old tv.  

I might add that we have inherited many things from these two generous, kindly folk, Sam's first big bed (which is now Toby's), sheets for the said bed and many items of clothing for the whole family (Shona had a small clothing business for a little while) which we benefited from.  And now a rather large tv, the largest one we have ever had.  So the only thing I could think of to repay a little kindness was to whip up a batch of Nigella Lawson's chocolate brownies, fair trade...I don't think so, but the boys all helped to put the love into those brownies.  Shona and Richard we hope you feel the love each time you bite into one.  We have lots of love to give you.


Richard, Shona and their babies, bless them.

i don't know - those brownies look pretty good - must be close to a fair trade.

Love, giving & friendship is not measured in monetary amounts. So fair trade I reckon.
