Happy New Year from Verona! 🥳🍾🥂🎉

Merry Christmas when it comes to you! 🎄🎉🍾🍾🥂🥳

My friend is talking about book recommendations for Christmas on Two Lochs Radio in Wester Ross this morning. Lovely to see the poem What we need to be warm by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com in the list! Beautiful and for such a good cause!!

This morning’s breakfast! I’m a panettone purist but my wife doesn’t like it so I was forced to have the #galup chocolate and pear version! It was beautiful!!

It’s a public holiday today here in Italy so last night we had a wee Negroni to celebrate. This is the Munich Negroni Western Style. Bourbon, Frangelico, Campari, Carpano Classico, a square of 85% dark chocolate and a slice of orange.

The Christmas lights are on in Verona but all I’ve got is this one shot as I trundled home at 2am after a work event!

Christmas tea from Fortnum & Mason going down a treat here in Verona.
