Daisies for Miss Harri.

My little sister is VERY clever. And, she's actually very grown up and brave too. She's only just a grown up, but in February this year, she packed up her world and went to live in New Zealand so she can go to college there. (When I went to college and uni, I just packed my bag every day and caught the train to class). I think she's very brave.

Anyway, we all missed her LOTS.

BUT, last week, she came home for a visit - HOORAY!

I was so excited to see her that I bought a big armful of daisies at the markets, and wrapped them up with a black and white striped ribbon, and took them to the airport to meet her. Daisies are a particular favourite of Miss Harri's.


On a final point of excitement, she did tell me in the car on the way home that she's been buying sunflowers every week to have in her room! I'm quite excited that sunflowers have made her weekly shopping list (this is big news, that the sunflowers are taking precedent over "perky na-nas"* and other such luxuries). It's rather nice to have flowers in one's room - makes SUCH a difference!

*Perky Na-na. What is this ridiculous THING, I hear you ask. Well, those crazy Kiwis have actually given this bizarre name to a chocolate bar. I think it's got banana lolly inside. Harri hasn't eaten one yet (probably because she's been buying sunflowers instead? Or because they have a ridiculous name... I'm not sure). But I've seen a photo of one. And they really are called Perky Na-nas. Which is crazy.
