Guess what came in the mail today!! Oh such lovely, lovely things! A care package from Moira, our dear friend in NZ and another from Julie, my sister in Australia. Everything a homesick Aussie/Kiwi could want!! But I suspect they've been reading my blog!!
- a lovely handwritten letter. (Who still writes letters? Well done Moira!!)
- photos of the nephew's recent wedding;
- CURRY!!
- intellectually stimulating reading material;
- a book of AFL commentator quotations..(it's an Aussie thing!!);
- the Aussie Homesick Pack....for further details see below
And from my sister, The Aussie Homesick Pack - a classic!!
- recipe for Pavlova (Hush all you kiwi's. Australia invented pavlova and that's the last we'll hear about it! OK? Look, you just beat the Aussies in cricket...get over it!)
- aussie bush tea,
- koala tatoo (Graeme's excited to help me with this one!! The mind boggles!!")
- echidna badge, (I responded that I was keen to help pin this one on him!! Ha ha ha),
- aussie toothpick (aka a "match"),
- the flag,
- real gum leaves (there's no MAF in France, obviously!),
- ....and of course VEGEMITE!! (Boy, are the Teste Family in for a gastronomical treat!).
But the very BEST thing in the care Package. Can you guess what it was?
Tongs! No more chasing the beans around the pot!!
"No, Graeme, that is NOT what we use them for!!"
