But nice nevertheless.
Looking back through my rather large photo archive I was reminded that Bob has been extremely lucky ( yes, yes, he married me!!!! ) when it comes to tombolas. January means annual firemen's ball and of course a slew of mini tombolas and lucky draws.
The main draw has unfortunately dwindled in prizes...those divine large screen TVs have been usurped by dinner for 6 as main prize and an organic duck from the farmer down the road. Hell's bells, I would much rather have a TV than a chef-cooked dinner that only lasts for a few hours. But, as I said to Bob, either prize wouldn't do us vegans any good.
A few years ago Bob won a food hamper and we were thrilled at the time although we had already started on a healthy eating plan due to Bob's diabetes and had to give most of it away.
On Saturday or rather Sunday morning Bob came back from his shift at the ball again laden with prizes. The mini tombola seems to have paid off although not so much for us vegans. A homemade cake which did look rather scrumptious and yummy was re-gifted by us to friends and the same with a huge box of chocolates. The basket of beers have found a nice temporary home with us though! Yeah.
Never mind the fact that we can't partake in our little winnings at least fortune has favoured us yet again and for that I am grateful. Feels good to win and perhaps we need to think up prizes that we can donate and consume in case we were to win them.
