It is a well known fact of the world that the smaller the package that needs delivery, the more difficulty it will cause in being transported. Particularly if it's partial to committing arson. Needless to say, this Simple Pleasures gift has taken a little bit longer to arrive than expected, and a little bit of stress all around.

In order to get my gifter's favourite this, they had to order from the UK, which makes a great deal of sense on reflection but adds several thousand miles to the trip Down Under. There was some trouble with the initial order, which delayed things a month. And then came problems with delivery addresses. My gifter was both supremely patient and diligent in ensuring my gift would arrive... eventually.

And now that it has arrived, I can honestly say that it was worth the wait :). The parcel itself contained two boxes: the first bearing a very nice whiskey snifter from Royal Mile Whiskies, and the second containing three tasting bottles of Highland Single Malt whiskey from the Glenfarclas distillery. Awesome!

My gifter said that these were their favourites, and I look forward to taking a moment to make these simple pleasures my own in the near future. In fact, let me thank you for your thoughtful gift and efforts by raising a glass!
