A Wonderful Surprise Gift For Nigel.

Oh my, on Friday, Rob the Postmam knocked on pur door with a mysterious and totally unexpected package for Nigel, from our lovely friend and follower Heather ....


...... inside, was the most wonderful collection of stickers, along with a very simple note from the aforementioned lovely Heather that said it all  .........


......... they were for Nigel's beloved readers and needless to say, it got a tad emotional for the little fella ........


....... but once recovered ..........  


 ........ he couldn't wait to get to school .........


 
....... to start sticking them in said little ones reading record books ........


........ alongside his encouraging
 comments.


Again, it was an emotional experience for Nigel as the little ones mulled over which stickers they wanted to either stick on their sweatshirts or tie or in their books, wishing Heather could see what they meant to each and every one. 


There are enough stickers to last until at least the end of the school year and most probably beyond, when Nigel could quite possibly be working with new classes too   ..........  so goodness only knows how memories are there to be made. 


So, thank you soooooooo much Heather, you've made so many small people (including Nigel) very happy with your thoughtful gift, that will continue to keep on giving for an awful long time to come  ......... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I am glad to hear they have arrived safely.
So who was more excited? Nigel or the children?
I remember my time of listening to young readers, some of who were not keen

I realise that you had to practically dismantle the box!
It did have a lot of sticky tape on it....
