Mary,

I'm so glad it finally arrived. I almost sent you a different CD, by a classical guitar trio called Saffire, because one of the guitarists teaches guitar to my brother-in-law, but then somehow I had the brainwave of sending you the Chris Duncan CD, because his performances at the Newcastle Folk Club years ago have always been a highlight for me.

And, serendipitously (spelling?? word??) you can now gloat about the Tim Tams to everyone else. Just don't tell Catspaw about the Vegemite!

(By the way, I forgot to tell you - a very, very thin scraping of Vegemite on hot buttered toast, with a nice cup of tea is the best way to eat it. You may hate it at first, but you could develop a taste for it. Especially in binge phases when you need a Vitamin B boost.)

And I hope you liked the festive duct tape on the parcel. :-)

Helen
