Back in the summer we tried to book a holiday cottage at our favourite garden, Aberglasny Gardens in Wales, so that we could meet up with relatives holidaying in the area but the cottages were booked so we had to look elsewhere.
When our daughter arrived home she discovered she had won a week’s holiday in one of the cottages. Being unable to take the week offered she asked if we could use it instead and the organisers agreed. Last month we had a wonderful week there despite some indifferent weather. Free access to the gardens was part of the deal.
Now this month over just two days I started to win back something in return. A cookery book on one day was followed up by a state of the art blender and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Monopoly game the next. Then yesterday a box of posh chocs arrived to round off the package. I do love the give and take that comping allows. Always worth checking that some family member will be able to take advantage of any wins though.
