It was a "Thank you" from the maker of that cheese, Winterdale Shaw, that Joe, of Ellie's Dairy, introduced her to last Tuesday at Mackmade, the farm shop near Faversham, in Kent.
She wrote an email last week to Mr. Robin Betts, the cheesemaker, congratulating him on the quality of his cheese and sent him the link to the post on my blog where we had raved about it, BUT she didn't expect a reply, he must get lots of emails about his cheeses.
Now.. Dear Readers.. you all know by now uf you've been reading my blog for some time that she reallyreally likes 'good' manners.. and is singularly unimpressed when people don't thank her, or other people, when they're given something.
She dolled out a couple of extremely nice Christmas gifts to a couple of youngsters two years ago and was astonished when neither of them had the manners nor ever have had, to say verbally or drop her a card to say "Thank you".
Needless to say, it must have been, she reckons, that her taste in gifts was SO ghastly, she's never bothered to give them anything again and does not intend to.
Likewise with her two nieces.. both of whom were given quite a large amount of personalised ribbon for Christmas four years ago, we know it arrived as it was signed for but was it ever acknowledged, sadly no.
But Constance had had a 'pretty' dim view of their mother's manners and she certainly organised it that any jewellery she had left, after her two sons had robbed her blind, was disposed of in such a way with instructions that it was not ever to be passed onto either of her sons' issue. Oi vey.. as I say.
Anyway, back to this 'Thank you' email, which plopped into her inbox this afternoon. Busy man. Making cheese, milking cows, human, so has another life, yet he takes the trouble to acknowledge a fan's email, we like that as much as we like his cheese and that's very much indeed.
GeeGee Parrot.
