Last week I arrived home at Muxloe Manor to find a parcel waiting for me. It was a 'care package' posted by my friend and erstwhile 'co-singer' Sugar Kane all the way from the other side of the Pond
(not forgetting added contributions from the cool Concorde Crew!). This was a surprise that it is no exaggeration to say made my day, nay make that week......and it got me to musing.In these days of the information super highway how often do people send snail mail post? Not very often I suspect, mailboxes only ever fill with bills and take away menus - it seems that old fashioned post is just too 20th century. Wouldn't it make your 21st century day to find a card, letter or parcel amongst the junk?
So Muxloe's Musings have decided to launch an appeal for every reader of this humble blog to send something unexpected by post to someone who you think will love to receive it. That's all, nothing more nothing less - do it for Muxloe, get out there and pop something in the post. It'll make somebody's week.
.......and how about leaving a comment letting us know what you sent to whom and how they reacted.....(actually maybe this is turning into Blue Peter!)

Well it seems my eBay sales are single-handedly keeping Royal Mail in business... though I am begining to wonder whether the whole eBay think is actually owned by Royal Mail as a ploy to keep us posting parcels.
Whilst we were at Uni a good friend of mine once sent someone he didn't like a turd in a jiffy envelope. Apparently the victim cried when he opened it.
lovely stuff! perfectly capturing the mood and tone of this appeal....keep em coming folks
You're so right about hardly ever getting anything decent in the post - just junk.
What I find most annoying is junk mail or bills with a had written address on the envelope. It lulls you into thinking you've got something interesting only to be dissapointed.
