Apologies, launch date rescheduled for 31st April. Still struggling to find some ribbon and a pair of photogenic scissors… and a star turn.

The auld Rake is twitching in the shed, but we’re enjoying the colour of these leaves so much I think I’ll leaf these for a few days yet…

Whilst the rule that ‘You can never have too much Wes Montgomery’ holds true, it doesn’t allow for dodgy Italian compilations of live recordings like this.

In truth there’s some excellent stuff on here, just a bit patchy.

Wes Montgomery - Midnight Guitarist (Jazz Masterworks, 1985)

And so this years Sherry Week draws to a conclusion, but as Duncan Murray Wines rightly points out, Sherry is not just for Trifle…

Finishing off with Chicken and Garlic in Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana 'Heredad de Hidalgo' Fino Sherry.

Dry, rich and tangy, but light and salty.

@barmas.bsky.social Do you remember that conversation we had on Twitter a couple of years ago, about an engraving of a. 18th century London tavern, selling Redstreak cider? We've found a painted version!

St Mary’s in Cheltenham is a church that just keeps giving. The national database didn’t include a Scratch Dial until I recorded it, and I’m guessing it doesn’t record this one located inside the church on a window recess near the Priests Door. See also a Sundial I hadn’t noticed…
