what you got for christmas

[Nightwalker]

Wildlife of Britain book. The Misses got me it at a bargain price. 65% off

Thats a superb book, I really love it! It's marked up as £40 at some places I believe.

What did I get?...A Possum & Merino Beanie, Ray Mears Vanishing World & this...

Also my friend Scott got me a new telescopic rod, reel and tackle, we went camping for a few days at the start of January and I caught my first fish with it!.. First bite & landed a lovely big Perch!

Sorry for being so late. I got 2 uninterrupted months of just watching and playing with my 2 yr old son. Xmas day was something money can't get as he would open a present and play with it for ages, before being cajouled by his mother into opening the next present. Took til bedtime boxing day before a dozen presents were opened.
My present was realising that he has a vivid imagination and enjoys playing, not just finding out what toys he's got. Just hope those virtues last a long time.

Hi there!
I got the joy of my 3 year old boy finally "getting" the idea of Christmas! The joy and wonder in his face when he realised Father Christmas had eaten the mince pie he left out was unforgettable. My 2 yr old daughter just saw it as business as usual with more toys!
As for kit?
I got a fire steel, a pair of binoculars and an electric toothbrush!

This was a totally unexpected gift from Finnish knifemaker Jukka Hankala. My photo does not show the damascus blade very well.

It was pretty amazing. I had written an article about Jukka's knives a few years back and this was his way of thanking me. Came totally out of the blue. I was completely stunned by it. It really shows the character of this man. We had not corresponded in a long while and yet he felt compelled after all this time to make this gift. I wish I could go to Finland and thank him personally.
