Bearing Gifts

I am absolutely flabbergasted, having received an astonishingly nice and unexpected gift through the post today.   I’m always the one that does the nice things, and until today no one ever does that sort for thing for me.  Strange I know, but that’s the way it’s always been, and the family tend to accept it.  So with that in mind you can imagine my surprise when the chap arrived with the parcel, I even commented that I was not expecting anything and checked that he had the right address.   

I was outside in the garage gluing some bits and bobs to a small table top 'n' gauge railway layout for Mr Tister and me, so I sort of pounced on the driver when he pulled up, poor chap.  He even said, “You are Roger Bennett, aren’t you?” Yes indeed, I am. 

Enclosed with the Special Next Day Delivery Box was a note; “just a little thank you for your help”, along with a gift wrapped Vinho Do Porto Messias 10 year bottle of Port. 

Scrummy, just what the doctor ordered.
