A special gift

Whilst I was braving an unavoidable trip to the hairdressers yesterday morning (trim only, the growing process is still underway!)I received a call from PG telling me to hurry up home, I had a big parcel delivered from the US and he wanted to see what it was!

I forbade him from further 'investigation' until I arrived home and full of excitement prodded the hairdresser in quicker action.

Once back home I was presented with a big brown box that, at extortionate cost I might add, had flown it's way from the US to Scotland. I had kinda expected 'something' to arrive but nothing of this magnitude. I fervently unpacked it's contents to find two beautiful gifts, a CD of 'electrically modified' Christmas music and a limited edition porcelain plate depicting a Christmas scene.

The gifts where accompanied by a letter explaining that the sender has become tired of the commercialism surrounding the festive season and so was gifting me two things that were important to them, kinda like passing on the pleasure these items had already afforded themselves.

I was so touched, the ethos is wonderful and makes the gift so much more precious. There was of course no need for a gift at all, it was from someone in the blogosphere as thanks for some help I gave, I will not identify this person for fear of causing embarrassment, if they wish to identify themselves in comments then that is their choice.

However, you know who you are, I have thanked you personally but I just have to say publicly the BIGGEST THANK YOU ever to you.......the fact that anyone even thought to do such a kind and thoughtful thing for me is one of those few instances in life that has renewed my faith in human nature ............you have 'made' my Christmas!!

THANK YOU :o)
