Sweets for dinosaurs.

Picked up my first freecycle 'purchase' this morning - a bag of retro sweets! The lady had been sent a care package from her sister, had picked out the ones she liked and didn't want to throw the rest away. She'd said she'd be in as she had 2 small children so I took round a couple of dinosaurs to say thank you and was met at the door by her and her 12 week old son... It turns out she had a big bleed on Christmas Eve and believed she had lost the baby so it was lovely to see him all happy and healthy. She also has a 20 month old daughter but had lost a baby at 10 days old after a premature birth three years ago in September so every year her sister sends her a care package on the anniversary to cheer her up! I have eaten the flump, one of the drumsticks and am moving on to the candy necklace next. Bliss...
