Mercia you are an inspiration to a life we can only dream about. Dont give up.
I would like the crab cakes, seafood platter and straight to the cheese course. I am a bit disappointed though that you do not have a nice cold chenin blanc in the fridge. Shall I bring some?

[merciasounds]

Actually Grasscarp, I have (or rather my hubby has!) a south african, a californian and a French Chenin blanc - which one do you want?
