Who sent the macarons?

Please someone tell me! Who sent the macarons?

Middle Cat and I were out on Saturday afternoon - a trip to the hardware and garden centre. (We needed pots to into which we could put Christmas plants. )

I came home and there, sitting quietly on the blue plastic box at the front door, was a parcel labelled "fragile". It felt cold, as if it had been refrigerated. I looked thinking it was for one of the neighbours but there it was with my name on it. 

I opened it because I was not expecting a parcel from anyone. It was actually quite difficult to fight my way into it. They were obviously serious about "fragile".

And there, inside the bigger box, was a smaller box. Inside the smaller box there were twelve beautifully made macarons...and that was all. I like macarons, Middle Cat and her husband like them too. I was going to treat these with respect.

But, there is a problem. I have absolutely no idea who sent them. I asked Brother Cat, my three nephews and my cousin. They are all as bewildered as I am.  I have no idea who, outside the family, would send me such an expensive (because, believe me, they are expensive) present.  As a family we don't have that sort of money - and wouldn't spend it on something like that even if we did have it I suspect. Our tastes are much more frugal. The Senior Cat liked plain Lindt chocolate - in small quantities. My mother was even plainer - plain milk Cadbury was just fine with her.

I have sent a message to the people who make the macarons but there has been no response. In all likelihood they have no way of finding out either but I have tried.

So who has sent the macarons? I need to know. I need to be able to say "thank you" properly. It is most embarrassing.

If you are reading this please identify yourselves so I can give you a proper purr and paw pat!
