What I got for my birthday...


Actually, the day after my birthday.




From my fiance's Mum:


From my fiance's little sister (best smelling candle EVER):


From my fiance:




This pocket watch is absolutely gorgeous. So shiny! It has my initials engraved on the front (NDD / Nathaniel Dorian Dale) and is what I've always wanted. I have three pocket watches already, but none are actually clockwork, they're battery!
I love this to bits, it is the most relaxing thing ever to watch the movement ticking away. Also instead of a second hand, it has a quarter-of-a-second hand which moves super-speedy.

That is an item of true beauty Darky - don't suppose you really want to know where your fiance found such a lovely thing. So glad you got lovely things for your birthday. Did you enjoy your special day?

Actually, my birthday was uneventful and rather depressing, I got a single card from my Mother. But today with my fiance was lovely and my sister is visiting tomorrow so it feels like a long birthday after my real birthday (friday).

What a gorgeous pocket watch, something for you to treasure always.

The violet gifts are lovely too.

Sorry the actual day of your birthday was uneventful but your fiance and his family certainly made up for it today...

Re: What I got for my birthday...


I'm so happy your birthday turned out OK. I always find them a bit depressing; mainly because my OH doesn't really take the time to think about what I'd want and leave it till the last minute

I adore that watch you've received. I love clocks; old ones, anyway. We have several, including a temperamental long-case one. Yours is so very special, and the engraving make it all the more so. Your fiancee must think the world of you, which is lovely.

My fiance and his family (minus his Father who hates me, as he seems to think that I made his son gay) are absolutely brilliant.

You can see why I love my fiance so much! It is the absolute perfect gift, as I have an obsession with pocket watches, although now I need to buy a nice waistcoat.

That watch is gorgeous! I have a thing about clocks/watches myself; that's a really lovely one. Glad the post-birthday was a good one for you!
