I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I'm just sorry that I couldn't give you more attention as even though I was "off" yesterday it was rather busy with it being Remembrance Sunday. As you saw I had to be everywhere at once. It was a rather non-stop day.
I hope you got home in ease. I didn't mean to burden you with some much junk that you had to get a taxi but you're welcome to the uniforms and what have you if you're giving them a good home. Don't drink all the wine at once! It usually retails for £379 a bottle but as you know it certainly doesn't cost me anything like that and I could never drink it all.
Hopefully you got to see everything you wanted. I know it is a bit chaotic and information overload but there is never enough time. Maybe next time things can be a bit more focussed. you can have a think about what you'd like to see or do before you get here.
I'll post those Medals you brought with translated citations later today - the first time I've seen a trophy hunter's awards.
I don't know if you could call that pile of Korean awards a skip but I gave up counting them (or being able to move them) a long time ago. I was sold most of them extremely cheaply with the proviso that I keep them off the market so prices don't deflate. The same dealer sent me a picture of a warehouse in China that has so many DPRK awards in it (even the very top end and "rare" pieces) that even at a penny a piece I'd never be able to afford them. Maybe they should be sold by weight. Those "investing" are going to have a great surprise.
