That be no bench…
It looks like a bench in our back “yard” (more like 8 square feet, but it’s very nice). But it’s not. It’s a wood storage thing. Or at least, it was at one point. Now it’s a nest of rather horrible things, which live in between the bordering-on-liquid remains of what was once firewood. And…

The stuff I pointed my eyes at in 2014
Mid-March isn’t too late for a 2014 roundup, is it? It’s still the same financial year… and I’d hate to break the chain now that I’ve done this for 2011, 2012 and 2013!

Some quite powerful revelations about the power of genetic inheritance.

I was away at Maltstock in The Netherlands (one of the best whisky festivals on the planet), but my mind was frequently on a little back-street pub in Clerkenwell – The Gunmakers. For on that day was the farewell party of Jeff, the landlord, having sold the…
