Even though it is my birthday month, all the gifts below were just because gifts and thank you gifts. Very special!
Celia over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial must spend hours linking all of the instalments of IMK every month as there are so many wonderful blogs to visit. Thank you Celia for the fun of being able to pop in around the world to see what everyone has to share every month.

Is the most thoughtful gift from my sister in law Elmien. When I was last up in Johannesburg visiting and seeing their new home for the first time, I commented on how much I like one of her plant pots and how I cannot find the gift tags she uses down here and next thing, when the folks were here visiting, along came a gift for me. Dankie Elmien, ek waardeur dit baie!

Along with the pressie from Elmien was a gift from my brother Chris (Elmien’s husband) – aww, they miss me. Thank you Honey Bunny.

Is a big bottle of my dad’s favourite spice which has also become mom’s favourite and all my siblings. It’s a good spice. Thank you for brining one along for me too daddy. Love you. xo

Is some fabulous tea from the UK and some home grown olive oil. Friends of Pete’s from varsity days, now living in London came home for a visit and made time to come and visit with us and brought along the most thoughtful gift for me! Thank you Ian & Ruth. It was wonderful finally meeting you and here’s to us coming and visiting you in the UK soon.

No sooner had Ian and Ruth left that my brother in law and sister in law from Plettenberg Bay came to visit for a weekend and brought Pete and I a beautiful gift bag filled with loads of treats. Don’t tell Pete I managed to finish the Lindt chocolate all on my own. Thank you D and Trishy. Missing you – come back for another weekend soon!

Are two nunu mini sauce jugs. Can’t believe I forgot to share these with you last month. My friend Yolandie sent them down with her son who was here doing swimming trials. She said she saw them and bought them for me because she knows how I love little things. So sweet of you Yolandie, thank you so much! Hopefully we can use them later this month when you are here.
What’s in your kitchen this month?
Please remember to link back to Celia’s blog Fig Jam and Lime Cordial if you partake in the fun and drop her a quick note to let her know when your post will be up and please note Celia needs all IMK posts submitted by the 10th of every month.
