Nowt railwayish.
Clothes from 'rents, mp3 player, necklace and STRIPEY KNEE- HIGH SOCKS :D from my girlfriend, big bottle of Gordon's from her parents, erm, money, lager, and more socks, but less awesome ones.

Money is going on bike gear/ fixing said bike, I've spent too much money on railway stuff this year, trying to juggle too many hobbies, a life and uni on a student budget.

I suspect my Christmas present was a bit different to all of yours...

Woke up to snow falling in the morning, then travelled behind this gorgeous beast:

Then had a turkey dinner whilst the snow began to fall again 8)

Best Christmas present full stop :D

1. A "Martin" track sweeper. (which should make keeping the track clear of leaves and debris a breeze).

2. Battery powered Lawn edge trimmer. (God help any killer slugs that get in the way of this little gadget.)

3. A new wallet.
