Digestive biscuits and books

Posted on October 9, 2025 by Gary

I managed to have a beer at my favourite Edinburgh pub, The Ensign Ewart. It felt like coming home. They didn’t recognise me, which isn’t a surprise. It’s been a few years. In fact, I don’t think the staff were … Continue reading →

Posted on July 2, 2025 by Gary

Supreme saki sommelier

Posted on June 25, 2025 by Gary

After a very late start (Mirinda had a meeting with Portugal) we set off for Fotografiska. It’s somewhere we’ve been a few times. The first time was back in April 2021 when we discovered the famous Fika Trolley. The trolley … Continue reading →
