As a big fan of travel, I asked my Secret Santa for a souvenir from his hometown for my collection of items from all around the world, and he obliged me by sending the cutest, most awesome mug I've ever seen, a London Bus with little wheels on the bottom. I can't stop looking at it!

Even so, my Secret Santa must have somehow felt that was not enough, because he also saw that I am incredibly interested in the Roman Empire and gifted me a great book that talks about the history of the men who built the Empire with gold, steel and will.

I cannot express how much I liked the gifts, and I can assure you I'll be reading my new book while I drink tea of my new mug this afternoon at proper tea times (luckily we share timezones). So if you'll be drinking tea at 5 pm, be sure to share my raised mug to you.

Thank you so much, Damian :)
