About Me

Hello! My name's Jane, I'm from south of England. (You may have swapped with me when I lived in Canada and/or Peru - I've moved quite a lot in the last few years but am staying in one place now!) If you ever have a problem with a swap from me or haven't received my end, please contact me so we can work it out as I would never flake!

My interests include reading, writing letters, sending and receiving post!, travelling & visiting new places, languages (I understand Spanish and Portuguese and a bit of French), history, keeping fit.

Comment: Wow, such wonderful goodies. I cannot wait to try the teas, they sound lovely and those brands are completely foreign to me. The candies look lovely and I will be sure to pass them on. Thank you for the ephemera..it is so interesting to see how things are in other places. What an amazing package, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into it! Loved the extra goodies. Let me know if you would be up for a holiday goodies swap!! It has been a few days since I sent my box, hope it is still safe.
Response: You are very welcome, I'm so pleased you like everything! Your package arrived today, I've just rated you - everything was amazing, thank you again, it was such fun swapping with you and I'd absolutely love to do a holiday goodies swap! Thanks for the sweet rating and heart - I wish I could give you more than 1 heart for your package!
