Bimbling down the auld Corpse Road with a view to a pint or two...

Love a good walk, pubs, music, beer, art, cider, Leicester Tigers RFC, the Sooty Show.

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.

Sad news of the day is the passing of Simon March, longstanding proprietor of family wine merchants Evington Wines. The good news is his son Olly has taken over the reigns so the business will see in its centenary next year. Always a reliable stockist of fine Sherries…
