Dear Gareth´s fans, Yesterday I got a surprising news which I want to share with you. You know I´m from the Czech Republic, a small country in the middle of Europe, and I live in a lovely historical town, which has about 60 thousand people. Over the years, thanks to my knowledge of English, I´ve met a few British people, who for whatever reason moved in here, and made friends with them. One of them is from London, he got married to a Czech girl and they live very near my place. He saw my shared videos with Gareth on my facebook wall and wrote to me yesterday that he once was Gareth´s postman! So I asked him for more details and here is what he has replied: "yes he is Bradford born and bred but he was living for quite a while in Vauxhall, South London. He lived in an old converted school that had multiple flats, there is a picture below for you and a google page of images. A very popular place and area for those with money. It was quite a lovely place to be honest. Both him and his wife were quite pleasant people, you rarely saw them but when you did they would often give a few minutes to ask you about your day." Here´s the photo: The world is really small, isn´t it? It was such a lovely surprise for me, I can tell you! Love, Blanka xxx

Thank you all for your feedback, I´m happy I could share this amazing coincidence with you! Wishing everyone a lovely weekend, Love, Blanka xxx P.S. Now I understand the Mayan prophecy! Since the end of the world in December 2012 we´ve had another December, December, December and December. I do wish it would stop snowing at last!

Yes H, about 20 cm of snow here and still snowing... It´s wonderful in the mountains, but certainly not here in town. How about in Britain? Love, Blanka xxx
