It's all happening...

Thursday saw my annual jaunt to the BBC Good Food Show - as many free samples of booze, ranging from the mundane to the excitingly exotic, as one can usefully imbibe in a day. And the long lug home laden with full bottles thereof. Then yesterday, the 'Sacred Children' (stropharia cubensis) arrived at the door, unexpectedly bearing a free gift! I look forward to their fruition. And now two days of sheer indulgence, our annual Brideshead Revisited weekend, eleven hours of the finest television ever made, languidly spun out over the whole time-frame, and enhanced with gastronomic treats. Breakfast is just the best time for a nip of Calvados, and the Champagne, Henriot '96, possibly the best I've ever tasted, to inaugurate the viewing shortly. Ah, life can be sweet!
