Thanks! I remember being entranced by it when Peter Clayton played it on his programme, back in the day…

I’d be happy to express solidarity with you and a country I’ve long admired - so what are we looking at here? My guess would be a vodka-type spirit, to be drunk as a chaser to a dark beer?

As long as you maintain at least the current level of Uggi content here, I’d love to read more of your writing on some other site! I mean not the ex-chirpy bird one, obviously, or the AI obsessed officially not-a-monopoly. But somewhere else, sure πŸ‘

A glimmer of light in the darkness. This morning at sunrise, the light peeped through as the clouds darkened and the rain fell. Photograph taken on Glastonbury Tor looking out over the Somerset levels. Another cold start to the day.

Do you have a crock pot / slow cooker? Just sits there quietly after you fill it with protein, veg and some stock (could be wine of beer too!) in the morning and at the end of the day, NOMMM casserole. So easy…

Foggy morning. Dark conifers with a few yellow deciduous trees mixed in, 3 trees elevated above the rest in the fog, tree tops exposed, layers of white-gray-blue clouds and sky above.

Song that features a flute from any genre.

Fields of Flowers - Barbara Thompson’s Paraphernalia

A fine flautist and saxophonist, the song begins with her playing against her own repeat echo.. a fascinating effect.
