Many thanks, Santa! The postman managed to deliver your wonderful package to the wrong address (not difficult in our area) and this meant we had to go and collect it, thereby making the better acquaintance of some neighbours who are extremely nice people (and he is the local vet). So in addition to a fab pile of goodies (well, I'm guessing, as of course I've been good and left them unopened for now at least) we've got to know some more local people. Double win!
