Dear Readers.. WE are confused.. very delighted but confused.. and perhaps when WE tell YOU this Tale.. YOU will be too!
After supper WE did the washing up.. whoops, truth should always be told, SHE did that whilst I ate a persimmon, SHE washed the work surface, then opened the front door to take the rubbish out and saw hanging on the knocker, a plastic bag.
What was this, opening the bag, SHE said "oh, goodness ME" and pulled out of the bag, a pair of fur lined tan lambskin ankle boots, the tops of which are edged with rabbit, they are Italian and very elegant.
Tucked into one of the boots was a piece of paper, with, sadly, no address or telephone number but written in an large but elegant handwriting was a message which said.. ".... dearest, please forgive me for not knocking but I am catching the train to Paris and I am late. I do hope you like these, sadly they are too small for me but I know they will fit you. Happy Christmas, with love, C."
And the glorious thing is that they do fit.. and look as if C wore them only once.
But now it becomes most curious mes amis. the note was addressed to HER, so the package was not left on the wrong house door and they know HER well enough to know HER shoe size.. but.. who is C?
Doubtless C will contact HER when she comes back from Paris to find out if the boots fitted and then SHE will be able to say "thank you C... for the most beautiful Christmas gift of furry boots".
Until then.. C is HER Secret Santa!
