Excellent! 😁

They look sooooo good! 🤤 I hope the taste-testing was thorough?

Paul could certainly whip something up for him! (The cocktails in the book look delicious 😋)

Beautiful! 😂 He would have some difficulty finding an adequate tisane in rural NZ, though, I imagine.

They're dangerous things! 😱 If you don't watch out, it'll turn into a Kenneth Branagh situation...

For sure! I'm also heavily influenced by Jim Qwilleran from the Cat Who... mystery series, who has a real doozy of one. It tingles when things are afoot. 👀

Love a character with a walrus moustache!

After the death of Alexander the Great, his funeral procession was literally hijacked from the control of one of his warring successors by another successor.

I think it was an averagely sized wheel of cheese, but it may well have been the only one in the neighbourhood! It was exotic stuff. 😆

The Prince Regent was a big fan of Jane Austen, and she HATED it because she loathed the way he treated his wife.

The English King John, who you may know from Robin Hood, concluded his disaster of a reign by losing the crown jewels in a marsh while running from an uprising. The jewels were never recovered, and John died soon after (the only thing stopping England from French invasion)
