So it's Christmas, and a bit of a weird one, so I want to tell you about a surprise Christmas present and the kindness of Twitter and total strangers on the other side of Europe that helped make it happen. 🎄🎄

Ten years ago, as relative newly weds, my wife and I had a lovely holiday in Croatia.

During that, we visited an amazing small museum (I do love a small museum): The Museum of Ancient Glass.

Amazing displays and THEY STILL MADE GLASSWARE THE OLD WAY!

We bought two glasses.
