Shutterbug and Harlequin Sister went to
visit a Lavender Farm in
Surrey this weekend. They had some great pics (to follow on their blogs
soon I am sure) and came back tired and bearing gifts: a bunch of
dried Lavender and Lavender flavoured chocolate which I am yet to try.
The Lavender has a lovely strong smell which I could smell as soon
as I walked into my mum’s kitchen. I haven't tried the chocolate yet, but
am told you can taste the Lavender. The chocolate peanuts are one of my
favourite treats. Shutterbug Sister is very careful and conscientious
about halal food. She checked earlier in the year and found that the
chocolate peanuts contained a coating of shellac which is considered by some
scholars to be haram (forbidden) for Muslims. She checked again recently
and was told the shellac was no longer used and that the product was suitable
for vegetarians. I was very pleased to hear this and happier still that
she had bought me a bag to celebrate alhamdulilah
Fashionista Sister,
not to be outdone, treated me and Little Lady to new water bottles. The
kids have been dropping hints about these which I have ignoring. These
keep the water cold for 12 hours or hot for 6 hours. I picked purple and
LL was pleased with her white one.
It's good to have sisters ahamdulillah, may Allah bless them with
health, wealth, happiness, contentment and all that is good insh'Allah, Ameen
