It’s a balmy 5C in Inverness when we get there tomorrow… Today has been lovely though.

It will still not be as disappointing as when my dad got an aged, specially saved, bottle of red out on my parents golden wedding and it was basically vinegar. (I now distrust almost all the wine in their house)
At least if it’s not quite as good as you remember it should be decent!

Buy the wine. Because a) the person is more than worth it and b) nice things are cheering (which is why I bought proper champagne for a toast to life, not my usual cheaper options). Maybe for Christmas to help get through it?

Chilingham Castle in Northumberland has similar security.

We had a weekend with friends a couple of weeks ago. If we aren't increasingly peri, it's parents/work/partners. Mutual support and wine was the outcome...

Wine in front of the TV as dinner is being prepped by husband tonight. A day spent with a friend partly in the local woods #confinedCocktails

I hope so, otherwise there are multiples of this person!

I’m sitting on a very warm train just now concerned about looking sweaty, so I’ll take “having glass skin” as an improvement.

Archives have been/are being moved!

I don’t think I can cope with cringing right out of my body every time they post.

Your vocab is going to be something else.

I’m delighted by how brutal it is.

It was a great day to discover my walking boots are no longer as waterproof as they should be…

That would be great, thank you so much!

Good luck!
