One sniff and I knew it was delicious soap so I kept it wrapped up, brought it in my suitcase and have not opened it until this morning. Why, you might ask? Because I like to savour things. I&#8217;ve been like this since I was a little girl &#8211; while friends and family around me wondered in june how it was possible I still had christmas candy to devour, or hadn&#8217;t yet spent my pocket money, or why I hadn&#8217;t already tossed away an old, tattered dress, the answer was always the same &#8211; I like everything to last as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PJB_IMG_1677.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9361\" title=\"PJB_IMG_1677\" src=\"http:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PJB_IMG_1677.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PJB_IMG_1677.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PJB_IMG_1677-87x65.jpg 87w, https:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PJB_IMG_1677-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And even more so when I am faraway. Here in my little boat I have a collection of treats that I brought with me from Australia that are yet to be opened &#8211; Stef&#8217;s soap being one of them. This morning, we were out of soap and so it became the perfect time to open this special parcel. While I watched the swans clean themselves in the canal outside my window, I unwrapped the package and was delighted when I saw that the soap was handmade &amp; handcut&#8230; it is the colour of the sea and in the shape of a beautiful rolling ocean wave, about to break onto shore -\u00c2\u00a0 it was a little piece of sydney. Thank you Stef! I will enjoy it immensely and think about the beautiful sydney seaside each time it lathers up.<\/p>\n<p>xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At my impromptu booksigning in Sydney at the beginning of the year, the lovely Stef from newspaper taxi brought me a sweet little parcel.
