At long last I received a much-awaited package from my old friend Alex. I found the notice of the parcel's arrival yesterday evening, just too late to fetch the package at the postal service office that day (to my great dismay) and the anticipation kept me up most of the night!
The contents, as promised, consisted of a Shinel, an Ushanka and my second* favourite hat of them all; the Afghanka. The fourth one I have owned and hopefully the last one I'll have to purchase!
*The favourite of them all is of course my old railway cap from the early days of the Soviet Union. Never will I part with this stylish piece of history.
