	Thank you for your delightful Chritsmas present. Bright-pink socks are just what I require. They are lovely. They would make a good match with last Christmass lime-green socks except the dog chewed those and then buried them. As you know, he gets very agited if anyone exhumes anything hes buried and so  I thought it better to leave them undisturbed.

	Also, thank you for the book Pillow lace through the ages. I must admit to knowing nothing about this subject and I am sure that many a dull winters evening will be spent on expanding my knowledge.

	Yours as ever,
