After a couple of issues and setbacks last month regarding the posting of my parcel from my penpal Kim, I finally received it this week – better late than never as they say! Anyhow, it was worth the wait in the end as it contained lots of yummy items. First up some naughty sweet stuff: a chocolate cake bar – I’ve just tucked into this but I had a pear afterwards, so that cancels it out, right?… a mini pack of Lotus biscuits – I’ve had these before and they are delicious. a Reese’s NutRageous bar – I love these …

Foodie Penpals – March reveal
This month my Foodie Penpals parcel came from the lovely Marjan all the way over in The Netherlands! I always love receiving my parcel from overseas as it means I get to try to local foods that I probably wouldn’t get the chance to otherwise. The parcel made me smile straight away when I opened it to this gorgeous postcard with a glimpse of The Netherlands. I have visited a few times and I forgot how beautiful it was. I’ve also never tried any regional foods from there! First up were these cheese biscuits – quite like ones we get …
Foodie Penpals – February reveal
Right, so I am a lot late with my reveal for February’s foodie penpals.

Foodie Penpals – July reveal
Sorry, I’m a little late with my reveal for July; I’ve had such a lot going on in the last week and have not found time to open my parcel, let alone write my post. Anyway, my parcel this month came from the lovely Kelly in Scotland. I received my parcel a little late this month as Kelly was going away, and I had so much going on that I replied late, so I had to wait until she came back – though it was my fault, not hers! It was worth the wait anyway, as always though I haven’t …
Foodie Penpals – June reveal
First up, sorry I’m a little late again, I have had lots going on! So June’s parcel came from the lovely Michelle from Scotland. As always I cannot wait to open it; this month was no different. And again as always, it turned out to be a fabulous parcel. I like it when the goodies are hidden like this as it’s even more of a surprise! I also loved the cute envelope which my note came in. So here is a look at the full contents of the parcel. There was a good mix of sweet & savoury things, …
