Wine Review: Cuvée Secrète Organic
Grapes: Merlot / Cabernet Organic red from Jean Claude Mas. Pays d'Oc IGP. 14% abv. 2020. Subtle organic red from Jean Paul Mas. Nice flavours of red and black fruit: strawberry, black cherry and plum come to mind. Also there was a savoury flavour I couldn't...
Bonfire Night Bottles
Lewes Bonfire usually goes with a bang, and Bonfire 2021 was no exception. We celebrated with a Shiraz from the Margaret River region in western Australia. This powerful, 14.5% alcohol, is from one of Australia's premium wine regions, and one of the few that lie...

Whisky Galore and more
Today I discovered Cadenhead's on Chiltern Street in Marleybone, between Bond Street and Baker Street. This is a small shop selling whisky, and a selection of other spirits. It looks from a different age, with rows of wonderful amber and heavy wooden barrels where you...
Along the Birmingham Canals
Birmingham's canals are like a vein of nature running through this busy industrial city. In the heart of the metropolis, the long boats are brightly coloured and slow-moving, and you can occasionally spot waterbirds and otters in their waters.
Visiting Soubes
We drove to Soubes in Languedoc for our annual holiday in the south of France.

Knock-On Effects
Most of the time, people ignore my efforts, especially family. I don't think this is an unusual situation, and it is one that I have become quite used to; nowadays I actually quite enjoy being an unseen and unsung force for the common good, whether it's doing the...
Packing Plans
6th: I have been trying to think through what one would need to make a journey of two months by bike. Obviously the amount of clothing would depend on the season; a change of underwear, a warm sleeping bag, pillow, some form of mat to lay on, and a tent or hammock...
