River cottage 'Meat'
and a day at River Cottage in August - can't wait.

One of the best gifts was that, being at my parents up in the Welsh hills, my children broke their 'get up before 6' rule and didn't awake until 8. 9 today!!!!! Bliss.

I got a LMF meal kit from my Sister and family. Already got one but now I have two colours with which to confuse the Scouts. 
Not quite bushcrafty but I'm really chuffed with the diary I was given by a friend:
The baby knife is crying out to be sharpened!

How lucky you are to have a baby knife like that! I had a solar-recharging battery that fits on the back of a rucksack - which presumably means that I have to do more expeditions!
Knife blade - for me to finish off

I got the following camping/woodsmanship/shooting sports gear:
Esbit fuel tabs
Fire Ribbon paste
Stainless steel Coleman personal mess kit (like the one I had as a Scout in the early 70s)
British compo ration can opener (like a US P38 but much larger, I'll call it my P39)
Tweezer for my FAK
LED flashlight
Large sized carabiner for attaching items to my day pack
S&W M&P.45 pistol for IDPA competition
Reloading die set .45 cal
Several boxes of .45 ammo
Large pistol primers
But the neatest gift was a tinder dry bag with char cloth and birch bark from Sniper! Thanks friend!

I got a folding shovel/pick from Maplin of all places!
This one is small enough to go in my pack, useful for toilet digging but I dont think it'll withstand heavy use.

Basically its all the field guides from DK in one huge volume. An excellent reference tool but a bit big to take out into the field. Amazing value for just over a tenner.

Hey Andy, just wondering what your missus and mother thought of the suncatchers, they like them?
Steve,
I've been meaning to post you about them but work is manic at the moment.
They really liked them mate, i didn't see them till i wrapped them up and to tell you the truth i was well impressed with your handiwork. They are the dogs mate, there's a lot of skill went into those my friend IMO, you need to get a stall at some craft fares as i think you would sell a load. Thanks again for them.
I just hope the donation to H4H helped them a bit.
Very nice new hat from Jaxons (to replace my 'full of character' hat which, after over 20 years, is falling to bits) and some scrummy warm craghopper mountain strides...
