June Musings...

June eh? It has come and gone, and already we are rolling into July. Rolling along with thunder, rain and another lost summer.  It is a curious English trait I have developed much to my disappointment. End of may comes and the young people come out, the children play and people leave work happy. Well, that's the dream. Then the dream is dashed and we are left wet, miserable and feeling worse than after drinking my cousins home made spumante - less than ideal.

So, let us leave the hope of heatwaves and embrace what we do have. Good food and good drink and I like to think good company. Close out the rain and have a glass of pure sunshine sidro monato , forget the chilly air and warm up with Mediterranean spices. And if you still need something to bring a little, calore italiano in your life wash it away with some limencello- (the very thing for stripping away British summer blues).
