Chookie's box of goodies fron Fortnum and Mason.

Today we rushed down to the PO to collect the box.  The courier, DHL,  would not deliver it to our home as we live on a dirt road. I know that there has been some interest ,  so I took some photos.  I hope I can post them.

Certainly Christmas in July for you Chookie

Yes, CC,  thought I had chosen the ducks on the mug, but seems I chose the robins.   Had great fun unpacking.  Did you get the Photos that I sent ?

I love them all. what are those white items on the last photo chookie - are they coasters? Very swish!

Lovely.
those slate coasters are gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous Chookie. I also loved the slate coasters.

I was also interested in the pink striped book. Might we get a glimpse of its contents, or better still get to make some of the contents?

Thanks for posting Chookie.....that's a good haul!
It must have been one heavy parcel 

Your simply ices book intrigued me, and have  just bought it off Book depository for $9.10  (free shipping)   If you thought it was a worth while purchase, that was enough recommendation for me

Bet you enjoyed unpacking that box Chookie, love the bird mugs - I am a bird person too.

How much fun you must have had unpacking - probably more fun than purchasing as the decision making element has been removed!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!

CP 63,  the white things in the box in last photo,  are place markers.  
Maddy,  what a buy,  I paid $20 Aust. for it.  I have 3 other icecream books,  but this one has some different recipes,  and all very simple.  When we had lunch with CC , her starter had a scoop of Basil sorbet on the plate.  Like all good 'foodies",  she shared a taste with me.  There is a recipe for this in this book.  I will certainly try this and post if successful .

Chookie what a marvellous treasure trove you have there. I especially love the jug and coasters. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to have a look at Book Depository too. DD buys a lot of books there and I think she mentions it on her blog about books.
