Dad has offered to fund my Skyline Restoration, all I need to do now is find a garage that will touch it.

I bought him a 20kg sack of wild bird seed, but hes still buying fatballssultanasbreadapplessconespopcorn that they like to eat. I havent the heart to tell him they might enjoy the seed...

 

[Harvestman]

Got various keychain bits, some cds, chocs, a christmas t-shirt with cookie monster on it , a kindle touch (going to spend the day trying to work the damn thing out) and my wonderful wife made me some fleece and fur lined bootsocks after I complained of cold feet in my hammock! I will be posting pics later.

Just been out with her and the dog for a Christmas stroll, the gammon is in the oven cooking for later, and life is good.

Happy Christmas all.

Got a vango 3/4 ultralight mat for from my lovely wife (my boys got one each too) so we should be warm and comfy for hammocking next year.

A bottle of dark rum from my inlaws was also very welcome.

Apart from that, a few other bits and bobs but the best bit is seeing my kids (and my hounds) enjoy their crimbo gifts.

I feel your pain mate but this is showing the true spirit of Christmas! I tip my hat to you sir, well bloody done! Giving of yourself instead of a gift can mean so much more to the receiver, and I'm sure those poor souls in flooded houses appreciated it.

a battle ready historically accurate viking sword made by tinker pearce from the missus (more for my birthday yesterday) and various woollen things and a marble slab for my leatherwork

 

[HillBill]

What's the marble slab for hamish? Stamping and carving?
Please don't say cutting on

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Snowboard and bindings.

 

[Dreadhead]

What's the marble slab for hamish? Please don't say cutting on

just for tooling on etc. i have seen most leatherworkers use granite but many use marble too. i have needed a decent surface to absorb the impact for ages as i dont want the vibrations from hammering/tooling running down the hull of the boat

 

[Shewie]

Unfortunately my wife has just remembered that she also bought me a bottle of vintage port, so I have been forced into sitting here drinking some.

It's a terrible burden, but I'm facing it bravely

 

[Elen Sentier]

Got a load fo super leather pouches, some bivi boots (thank you John & Sam).

Some smashing stuff from the Brantub - but don't know who sent me them, would love to say thanks . The parcel contained 4 ex-cartridges, one with stropping compound in them; a beautiful rope-twist with bruch end; a strop; a Midi ttool; and a stainless steel "thing" ... this is it, can somebody tell me what it is?


I also got this (not brantub but had pink wrapping !!!) which is absolutely super ...

 

[oldtimer]

I got a Merino wool base layer from my wife. It's guaranteed to keep me from being smelly whilst on a trek. Is she trying to tell me something?
