EBBP#7: keeping track of those parcels!

Over a month after the deadline, all parcels have reached their destinations. Thanks to all of you for participating, can't wait for the next round!

Happy to report that there is only one parcel outstanding (and poor Catherine of Tours et Tartines (BE) can now probably figure out who she's supposed to get her parcel from...) - you would think that when you're sejourning in the very city where your recipient lives, posting a parcel at a local post office should make sense... surely, the parcel couldn't take more than a few days to arrive and, it being Belgium, certainly wouldn't get lost. Well, you can never be sure as one blogger had to find out. Her parcel STILL hasn't reached its recipient and that's after almost 4 weeks of sending it. Another parcel is on its way.

... and just when I thought I could sit back and relax, I receive an email from Freya of Writing at the Kitchen Table (UK) saying that she has received her parcel from Sophie of Wonder Kitchen (FR). So it seems that parcels are reaching their destinations already, BEFORE the actual deadline for sending them!

Here's the full list of participants, details on who's received and blogged about their parcel will be updated daily!

So, I have got a confession to make: I will be away on holidays from this Saturday until the 4th of June and chances are that will not have access to email. This means that I will only be able to publish what's arrived and where people have blogged about it when I am back. I was kinda hoping that people would send on the Monday and first parcels would arrive just before the weekend or at the start of the next week, by which time I would be back from Southern Tuscany.

But it's not that bad, really, me being away just gives you time to also blog about your parcel and then send me notification of receiving your goodies, with the link attached... two birds with one stone, as we say!

Happy parcel exchange!
