Busy researching the availability of Loire wines here and in the UK this morning for an Insta Live in partnership with @pursuitofgrapeness.

Remembrance Sunday. The day in the UK when there is a ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall to remember all those who fought.

Woke up with a thundering headache this morning. That’ll be the sulphites in the wine you drank last night then! No! It won’t be that but…

Up in good time today. It’s market day and it’s a while since I’ve been. Too long in fact. Chatting to Louisa last night spurred me on.

Pinch punch, the first of the month. Happy November! It rained all night and I woke up at 4am hearing strange noises downstairs.
