Expats Container
As a result of a weekend conversation we are setting up an imaginary container (can be as large as we need) full of the things expats need to bring across that they didn't bring in the first place.
I will be putting on good solid wood internal doors, mooncups, combi boiler and radiators and a consignment of Black Bullets
& aniseed balls the hard ones (Cresta & Pollyanna had never had Black Bullets so need to share them around).
So what are you putting on?

Get your orders in now - I need to warn my sister, who will be the collection point, that she will have a truck-load of mooncups arriving
I just want to see my nephew's face when we explain what they are.........
