Hey Sophia,

My mother in law rang me last night - inquisitive as to whether I knew anybody in Greece ... my answer was No!

She said the postman arrived to her door with a package from Greece! Now imagine the scene Sophia, my mother in law lives in rural ireland and has had the same postman most of her life! All he has ever delivered to her were bills and the usual stuff!

A parcel from a foreign land was then obviously something that doesn't come along very often ..... so she invited him in, and over a cup of tea, they opened the parcel and pondered overthe Hallelujah tshirt :lol:

The reason I gave you my mother in laws address as opposed to my own is that we will be moving shortly to Clare, and I didn't want the parcel to arrive here to my present address when I had already left to go and live in Clare!

So thank you sweetie, I'm going to Clare tomorrow and can't wait to try on my new tshirt!!!

Can you please send me your address so I can send you a little token of my appreciation, I know you will say its not necessary but I would very much like to.

A very grateful Harriett who can't wait to walk around rural Ireland in her newly acquired Hallelujah tshirt :D

Harriett, I'm glad that my package brought your mother-in-law and her postman a bit...closer!
I can only imagine them pondering over that "Hallelujah t-shirt from Greece!" :D
You surely will be unique in that t-shirt walking around rural Ireland!
My best wishes for your new life in Clare,

Sophia

My t-shirt came today! Wow, the kindness of strangers. It's really cool. The words are just sorta scrolled along so you really have to look to figure it out. Very mysterious.

Mine came yesterday (I have already PMed my gratitude). Does your t-shirt have some French words (up the top and bottom)also? What song is that, do you think, or is it something else all together?
How about posting some pictures Minerva and Harriet? I'm game if you are. 8)

Sophia, Is the T-shirt available over the counter in Greece? Will probably have to go into Piraeus soon, so would be interested to know if there is a shop stocking it there.

There is Cohen in the middle, that's all I can say...

Hydriot, I suspect the t-shirt is not available anymore, since Sofia bought them all :)

They don't seem to be available in England :(

I spent a long time going through their website without finding any that looked remotely as described :(

Dear Sophia ~

I asked you privately and I thanked you privately when my t-shirt arrived day before yesterday; however, I want to thank you again, here, for the extent of your generousity :D . As divine providence would have it, the Large that you found turned out to be the EU size, which is Medium in the U.S., so it turned out to be exactly my size. Thank you, again :) . I appreciate it and you very much. The shirt, as you already know, is wonderful... and I love the cut 8) .

Thanks :D .


Love,
Lizzy

I'm glad that you all have your t-shirts now, it was great fun to send "Hallelujah" t-shirts all over the world! :D
Hydriot, there is one Mango shop at Piraeus, 49 Iroon Polytechniou Str.( I bought them from Ermou Str. in Athens),
and...have a great time on Hydra!
Girls, I would love to see a picture of you in that t-shirt! Laura had a lovely idea... :wink:

My sunny greetings to all of you,

Sophia

I have not found it in Barcelona. I believe that Mango has his head office here. Does some site where we could see these T-shirt?

Sometimes you can find Hallelujah in unsuspected places. Another day I heard a cover (I think that one of the Norwegians) in a catholic and ultra right radio.

Oh glorious Hallelujah! Reading, going up and down across mountains, advancing up to the plain, the lake, then...

A big THANK YOU to Sophia.

The Hallelujah T shirt arrived today and is much nicer than expected, not a basic T shape, a subtle design and it fits perfectly.
Only another Cohen fan would recognise it 8)

Exactly, Margaret. I've actually never seen a tee of this design 8) . Mine fits perfectly, too.

True, too... in fact, I barely would :lol: .
