From Under The Christmas Tree

 Father Christmas's sack was full again this year.

Santa, my family and friends pulled out all the festive stops and treated me handsomely on my birthday and Christmas. 

Tons of ace books; Vipco VHS, a pulp horror digest and three tomes missing from my 1970's martial arts collection ( thanks Bill!) 


Paperbacks from Missus Moonbase; Chernobyl, Ghormenghast, The Vardi and more. Christmas shirt stories from my older brother too. 


My daughter and son in law got me this spiffing Scalextric FAB1 in its superb case. 


The Grandkids got me these cool Supertoys spaceships.


My daughter and her kids got me a huge box full of old toy parts and small toys, which I've yet to fully explore. Great fun to come!


And last but not least, some if my fave drinky poos from family and friends: Marsala, Port, Frangelico and Amarula.

I also received some Old Jamaica chocolate from my old friend Evil Ed, who kindly sends me the wonderful sweet fave of mine every year.

What did you get for Christmas readers?

    5. They are related toys Brian, both branded Supertoys, who I think also inherited the Multimac line, though I might be wrong there
