Santa 2021

The inevitable December question *smiley-grin* ..... What's on your Santa list this year :?

An amount of fly tying stuff I probably don't really need - but have bought anyway for SWMBO to give to me at Christmas  *smiley-wink* 
The reel that is my 50th birthday present, ordered back in July, still isn't in stock in the UK. I may have to make myself feel better by encouraging Santa to provide me with a substitute  reel at Christmas to 'keep me going' *smiley-grin*

More worryingly, 'little me' has asked for a fly fishing outfit. He's not going to get it for Christmas..... but I might be persuaded in the New Year to consider the idea of 'helping Santa out'  >)

I let my wife know that a 14 foot 6 Hardy Zephrus was being delivered by Santa. It has arrived so I look forward to opening the cardboard delivery tube on Christmas morning.

My wife tells me that a wee chocolate roan cocker spaniel pup may arrive in time for xmas.
This would be the best xmas present ever as we recently lost our 15 year old Golden cocker.

I wouldn't mind getting a Hardy Zephrus as well as the pup but that would be a bit greedy *smiley-wink*

Hope you manage to christen your new rod with a sealiced Dee springer.

Cheers Duncan,

I have kept back a bunch of holidays that need to be used by the end of March so I will definitely be trying.

Cockers are great wee dogs. A new fishing pal for years to come, enjoy.

I have dropped some less than subtle hints for a Taniwha glass blank and a travel vice.

Not too fussy either way, but the rod would edge it slightly.
