Pass the parcel...
A small parcel arrived, wrapped in a layer of thick brown paper and well sealed with wide brown sticky tape.
One sharp knife and a pair of kitchen scissors later I removed the wrapping and found...
...another parcel wrapped in a layer of thick brown paper and well taped with wide brown sticky tape.
Sharp knife and kitchen scissors and the second wrapping was removed and I found...
...a very pretty box, sealed with - yes - more wide brown sticky parcel tape.
Carefully peeled off the tape [because the box was so pretty], opened it and found...
...something wrapped up in bubble wrap [but no sticky tape, brown or otherwise].
Carefully lifted out the something and removed the bubble wrap and found...
...a little gold-coloured box with a central circular "seal" saying "Marks & Spencer - The Collection".
It was a 100g "Perfectly Matured Christmas Pudding" sent to me by a friend in England!
