    Thanks Roders, L of L and Honey Bee for your positive thoughts!
    No, its not all crap - I'm currently drinking some paint stripper cider and watching a tape of Rebus and "talking" with my friends here on G.C.
    Don't get much better than that now!!
    Cheers! [​IMG]

    Yup L of L - what more can I say except that I kinda live my life at somewhat different hours to most folks. I worked night shifts in warehouses for some time and all that. The paint stripper cider really helps to send me back to sleep so its my form of sleeping tablet.

    Maybe I should change my Displayed Name to "Royster the Early Morning Paint Stripper Drinker". Got a ring to it, don't you think?

    Kind regards!

    What a lovely lady Royster. That Eastern European bone structure is really striking.

    Though I have to admit some subjective bias as I've got a Russian/Polish beauty too.
    Such a shame you have those long separations.

    Thanks Marge! You could be right - its worth making sacrifices for a "better life". You being from Somerset will have no idea about paint stripper coyder! Isn't Somerset the best place in the world for coyder production?

    Dave W - thanks too for your comments! I'm intrigued by your Russian/Polish beauty. Interesting family history I imagine? I love Russian history myself - its incredibly fascinating and quite frankly particularly cruel! Mind you, not much has changed - for the masses its still a very hard life indeed!

    Kind regards!
    Roy

    Just about a mile from us stands/staggers/lies this place. The produce is brilliant; slips down easily and then, if taken to excess, ever so sneakily freezes your legs followed by your tongue and brain.

    Worth visiting the website if only for a good laugh.
    (The pub that burned down is about 100m from where I now sit)

    I was just telling friends about this place - and the wines, of course!! Funny you should mention it right now!! I liked the blackberry one, and the white one from the resin of the siler birch - but they don't seem to be mentioned on the site - maybe in the REAL SHOP!!

    I bought mine in the shop at the campsite in Glen Nevis at the foot of Ben Nevis. A great place to be, lying on a camping mat, looking up at the mountain...... :D

    They have a sign outside the winery - "Twinned with the OK Coral".

    Yes Dendi - the name really sums up the effect.

    Our favourites are Spring Oak Leaf (lethal) and Sparkling Elder Flower.
