Sherry and Sherry Cask Whisky with Fernando de Castilla 📆 4 November 🔗 bit.ly/4jOFcLn Early November sees the return of Sherry Week. As the home of the UK's largest range of sherries we're flying the flag for these brilliant wines. We start the tastings with a masterclass comparing, contrasting and delighting in the Antique range from Fernando de Castilla and a trio of 30 year old Glenburgies.

Frogs is on the Naughty List for spilling my wine - as I was holding it… Tried to growl at him after he ignored some very firm ‘No’ and he thought that was really sweet and kissed me. I’m not fearsome at all, am I? 😂🍷

Boneshaker bus took us 129 miles,3.5 hours Nukus-Moynaq for £1.92 😁 A former thriving Aral Sea fishing port, now a 1 street ghost town, cattle looking for food & sea being 10% of it's size of 1960. All due to Soviets diverting river flow for cotton farming. Now a toxic desert 😡 – at Uzbekistan

Watching a film where a woman is released from prison after serving just 6 years for the murder of her wealthy doctor husband and her hair, eyebrows and make up are perfect, just as they were at trial. Hasn’t aged at all and returns to the v expensive home where they lived
