June concluded with a lovely 12yr Tamdhu, sherry oak cask, and of course Lady Catherine worrying that the “shades of Pemberley would be thus polluted” #JaneAustenbookclub

I kept mixing up previous (先) and past (去). Had to go back and review the suggested mnemonic. The poetry. I mean really.

On Friday we ended Sense and Sensibility month with a screening of the Emma Thompson adaptation. And matched this delightful Ardnamurchan AD Single Malt from Argyll. #JaneAustenBookClub
