Festive treats from afar!

Our friend Fumiko from Japan, always sends us lovely gifts.

The postie van just came with a parcel full of great pressies!

Fumiko always sends beautiful calendars and cards, and this year

a tin of lollies, some little animals that make noises for the kids

(and a sheep for Shayne!),

and a gorgeous face washer with a black cat on it!

Thanks Fumiko, we are always thrilled to get your gifts!

What a lovely surprise in the mail!

Fumiko and Lauren in February 2001

Lauren was nearly 6 months (little baldy wasn't she??)

We met Fumiko on a European Contiki in 1997.
