    A late gift

    I was given a late Christmas gift from one of Elaines close friends .. even though she lives only a couple of miles away, commitments meant we were unable meet up.
    This is what I had ... shes a great Cilt lover and enjoys all things Celtic and earthy ...














    I was really pleased with the little hip flask which was duly filled with Welsh Penderyn Whiskey

    I especially like the part about the square bottle as so it wouldn't roll when placed on a hillside.

    Now you go steady with that stuff, Derek. We don't want any bum notes from you or your students!

    Take care,

    Great gift! The reference to Bluith Wells in the Danzy Jone write up brought back memories of training in the Brecon Beacons in 1968 and a great meal in a pub there at the weekend.

    Thanks for sharing.
