Seen in #Avignon today. Maybe British #archives should adopt a more relaxed attitude to their holdings 🤔 !!!

We were so sorry to hear of the death of Sir Geoff Palmer. He was so helpful in advising on the revival of brewing at Traquair and even brewed here himself. (See the early bottle of Traquair House Ale!)
