Oh, Jay, what a shame. How frustrating!
I didn't expect to be posting here this year, as I wasn't taking part...
Got home today from walking the Pilster, and there was a package on my door step; upside down with a slight tear in it. I just assumed it must be one of the several packages I am still waiting on from various online sellers...so I just widened the tear to see what was inside...
Uh oh! The first item that was visible was not something I had ordered! Crap, thinks I, this is a neighbour's package mistakenly left on my step and I have just savaged the outer packaging...
Turned it right side up to check the address label and, no, it was addressed to me. Sent from America...Took me a moment to figure out that Santa had made a little trip to Northowram
I opened up the rest and looked inside
I have photos but haven;t had time to resize them etc, will do so a little later and will post here
Thankyou so much to my super-secret Santa! I think I know who that might be, because of the sticker on the back of the envelope that was inside. But you'll have to wait for the photos to see that and to see the gifts.
I am completely delighted and over the moon. Especially as Santa very thoughtfully included Pilau in the fun! What a thoroughly delightful surprise!
