  View this email in your browser That's Why I'm Drinking Again! Good Morning - It's June!!!!!!!! Summer is (almost) officially here and finally we have been lucky with the weather  - I am cautiously optimistic that we are over the worst! We had a really nice, country bank holiday in Kent and visited Knole Park to see the deer and gaze at the house longingly. I met Libby Sackville-West some years ago at a friend's house and, when she said that she lived at Knole, made the faux pas of asking her "how close to the park?" ! She was charming of course but I did feel foolish! As it was a long w/e, we decided to indulge in some cocktails, which is what has inspired this week's missive. I adore cocktails as there are endless possibilities and a degree of creativity involved - plus they are so pretty! We are as adventurous with our cocktails as we are with our food so like to try out new recipes regularly - well I like the recipes; the GD tends to go off-piste (fo...

Have you had a good week? It still feels slightly odd out there - I think that until face masks are consigned to the dustbin( yay!), there will always be a visual reminder that things are not quite what they were!

What a week it has been! Firstly I must be very British and moan about the weather! The hailstorms were terrifying and biblical, I have been awaiting the frogs and boils! And it's still quite chilly - my central heating has been whirring into action on several occasions which is just wrong for May! Otherwise, it is beginning to feel a lot more 'normal' and, if you avoid the news completely, it is almost 2019 again! We have not yet popped our toes into the bar/restaurant pool as I have decided to wait for my second jab so that at least I know that we have been as careful as we can be - the Good Doctor was vaccinated eons ago, which is as it should be!  In other news, my Mum bought a rather bijoux bungalow on the Downs in Sussex - her garden goes straight onto them, so...
