We are richer by two towels

My last discussion was about an award Vince and I received for our volunteer work with the endurance riding association. We travelled half an hour this morning to have a coffee with the donor. We were given two lovely big blue towels which have been embroidered with the details of the award. We were really touched by the gift.
On the way home we picked up the mail from the Post Office. This included a police clearance for one of the backpackers we befriended. She is from Italy and will be going to Canada to be with her boyfriend who we also met here. We have to scan the document and email it to her then post the hard copy to her parents in Italy.
And also yesterday we talked on WhatsApp with one of Vince’s Nepalese friends. I think it was WhatsApp as we could see each other. Her sister is getting married in Nepal at the end of January and we’re invited to the wedding. I’m not sure that we’ll go though. We need to think about it. Altogether quite an eventful day or two.
The photo is of one of the towels.

@JohnRoberts Well - maybe eventually but I think they might last my lifetime. I have some that are ages old.

The towels were well embroidered ! They were mementos of your being commended for your outstanding service to the endurance riding association.

I think she does. Maybe it's to get a visa. I'm not sure that she actually said. She and the French-Canadian are going to get married. They met on an island off Portugal at a fire-eating convention!! Have you ever heard the like?
