Rachel Brimble's Christmas Favourite
Today I am very excited to welcome Rachel Brimble, the fantastic author of Christmas at the Cove, What Belongs to Her, A Man Like Him and many other fantastic books
to my blog. She is going to talk about her favourite Christmas present. Rachel,
all yours:
My favourite Xmas present…as a child and
adult!
I’ve been lucky enough to receive some
fabulous presents over the years, but there are two in particular that stick in
my mind for very different reasons.
The first was a HUGE teddy bear that my dad
surprised me with after lunch when I thought all the presents had already been
given out. My dad was a very skilled welder and worked away a lot on oil rigs.
One year, I remembered he had been away for what felt like weeks and he finally
came back for Christmas.
That bear was so special to me and I still
have it in the attic and hope to surprise my first grandchild with it one day
:D
The special present as an adult? Well, that
was one that had me bursting into tears over Christmas dinner with my family.
In June 2010, me, my husband, our two young daughters and closest family
friends were stranded on a hotel roof during a flash flood in France. After
twelve terrifying hours, we were rescued by helicopter but pretty much lost
everything we came on holiday with––including my engagement ring which I used
to remove at night.
Yep, you guessed it, right? My lovely,
wonderful, romantic Mr. B surprised me with a diamond and gold solitaire on
Christmas Day 2010. Lord, I love that man!
Merry Christmas!
