It's like a perfect dash of Angostura Bitters. Now just let me top up the gin and feel the sound of my ancestors like an ancient, well, yes, hunting horn, in my veins. In fact we were cheesemakers.

I wait everyday for your wonderfully turned humour. So British, so warming; It brings me back to Rhodesia (yes, way back then) where I lived for 2 year; My (French) father always loved listening to BBC World; even the sing alongs... loved it then, love it now.
