My wife recommends taking a deep breath in and, as you slowly breathe out, think to yourself....I wonder what my next thought will be.
And repeat.

My heart used to sink whenever I visited a producer as soon as I heard the words - Icon Wine.

I'm always suspicious when people describe novels as well written. If it's good you're going to be too wrapped up in it to notice, or care.

It's a rare thing nowadays to find any new food/drink (delete as appropriate) entrepreneurs that didn't "give up" a career in finance to follow their dream.

The Pontet 14 is gorgeous. Possibly the wine of the vintage?

UK inflation is 2.8% and you can get interest rates around 4.5% , contrary to what the article says, I really think you're better off keeping it in the bank given what's going on.

Given that The USA doesn't want immigrants, can you just assume that other countries will want you as emmigrants?

It's also a blanket admission that US business is uncompetitive. Tariff protection of it will only make this worse.

There is an argument that appeasement bought us time to re-arm. I don't subscribe to that then or now.
We do have similar malignant forces here AFD, National Rally, Reform.... it's early days but I think that Trump's actions are actually cristalising opposition to them. I pray I'm right.
