One of the most unusual birthday presents I've ever received

I'm a little vexed with Blogger tonight, I posted several pictures from the hike and a description of one of my birthday presents but out of all of them, only one has appeared on the blog!
It's funny how much harder it is to post something a second time! Especially if you put a bit of extra time and thought into the original and then it disappears without trace or reason!

I'll just try one more time with this post.
