I hope Santa was generous with all you good boys and girls!

As for me: Couple of books (been meaning to get these for a loooong while, but shipping to where I live was a almost a $100 due to weight; crazy! But the wife took the bullet for me); set of four handcut Italian crystal tumblers (not Cumbria, but this pattern matches my decanter); Everlane cardigan, and not really Bond related, but my brother-in-law brought me these cotton-linen trousers from Spain, which I want to use as alternatives for the BC chinos. Very happy!

Where did you get the glasses from?

hthomas: i saw your message on FB
The decanter belonged to my grandparents and is Edinburgh crystal. My parents brought it over from Scotland and I got it when my father passed away. It's about 100 years old. The glasses are from a german company called Nachtmann. But they were made in Italy. Go figure ....

Nice canoe2 -{

I can also add that the 'Bown of London' Dressing gown is a lovely piece - not screen accurate of course but I'd say very Bond like with the morning cup of coffee.

Well, Santa made a follow-up trip today and left something in the mail slot. A shout out to my mate Barbel for sending me a copy of Colonel Sun, the Companion Book Club edition that lists the author as Robert Markham. I love parcels with international postal markings, thank you from across the pond!

) too good man!

Canoe2: Nice man! The story behind the decanter is very cool.

Big shoutout to AKV for facilitating my gift:




Never thought I would get my hands on one of these. Now off to the tailor, as small is still way too big on me . I was also surprised by getting the CR Pell money clip from my brother in law, which is on its way. Santa was way better to me than I deserved this year. Just ask my wife.

Dents Skyfall gloves in presentation box - absolutely fantastic! If you haven't got them - buy them now, they are superb.

The Bond Vivant

Just received this as an extra bonus present from my other half. Don't know if anyone has seen one in a while, but it is an U.S. Secret Service target from the 70's- part of some old stock recently discovered. Good on the old girl forgetting me this!:



Cheers,
