A childhood sense of excitement has been reinjected into the postman’s arrival – a glimmer of normality when everything else is awry. And the greatest outcome of that familiar thud on the doormat is a parcel you can unwrap and devour in seconds: a blissful morsel of brownie made on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, or a box of soufflé-like marshmallows that first became a hit on Portobello Road in London. Transport yourself to a balmy terrace in southern Italy with a delivery of fresh pasta, or a hidden tapas restaurant on a Spanish side street, with salty slithers of jamón. Once you’ve decided on your favourite, direct a package to a friend in need of a pick-me-up.
