Presents from France .....


There was huge excitment on the evening before we left for Spain for Christmas because the postman delivered a special parcel marked for 'Clive & Murray'

Murray carefully opened the box and found several beautifully wrapped gifts!



There were gifts for Clive - lovely treats - that he has since enjoyed very much!

A wonderful yellow box containing the most yummy French biscuits - which Murray absolutely adored because they reminded him so much of the waffles he used to love eating when we lived in Brussels!

The biscuits may be nearly gone now but the 'yellow' box will be kept!  Murray loves that box!

He also really loved his yellow mug - filled with delicious chocolates!  Someone certainly knows how to make Murray very happy!  Someone certainly remembered that 'yellow' is THE colour in Murray's world!


So who sent these wonderful presents!

The Poupounette Gang!!

Huge thanks to #1 and all the gang - we so enjoyed our gifts!  Murray's Mom had loved her calendar of The Poupounette last year and was delighted to get another one for 2013!  They are just the right size and sit just above the computer at our work-station!  Everyday we get to look at all our French friends!


One very happy young man!  Many thanks again to #1 for organising all that!   We're sorry that we've been a little slow in posting the photos - our trip to Spain was the very next day and we're going catching up with ourselves this week.

  5. It is lovely to read about people going out of their way to bring happiness to Murray. There is so much moaning and groaning about finances etc. that it is a pleasure to tune into Clive's blog and get a dose of sunshine and happiness for a change. Thanks!

  6. MURRAY......I agree YELLOW is the best colour ever! Those scrumptious morsels....they looked so good.....I suspect they are all gone and were delightful. The can is beautiful and the mug too.

    Cheers from across the ocean, matey!
