I bought myself a couple of treats - including Spanish Cava wine and some highly recommended, and local, hard cider. I also bought a Michigan staple - a beef pasty with gravy. I'll be heating that up as soon as the cinder is chilled. Not to mention Blueberry and Mango Stilton cheese, a small but pretty cat gazing ball AND an Amathyst bracelet.

I've put myself in 2nd, 3rd or 4th place for too long. Time to put myself first.
