Surprise Meeting.

 This is Tom. One of my Laundry bag recipients. He and his lovely partner Jessica and their baby Ollie surprised me by knocking on my door on Monday morning.

 He was on board ship when he chose my laundry bag with the note/card inside.

How small is this world really, The amazing thing is that Jessica grew up in Mill Park where I live, and her parents still do live there, so that is how they popped in, They were visiting Jessica's parents.

They popped in to Spotlight South Morang and told them who they were getting the fabric for and of course all the staff know me well and had such nice things to say about me. How Perfectly wonderful the whole visit was.
