new faces

today we cheer wooooop (well you can woop i'm not really a wooper truth be told) casually raise an eyebrow or two and welcome cooking up a quiet storm to that little map of little streets we're always charmed to troll down. up even if it's that sort of afternoon. you'll find all manner of delights. me and the mrs both had a go and you can have a go too. i do hope you do...
if chance had had it's weird way this might've popped onto the end of my first go (skip over there and this might make slightly more sense. slightly)

seven

heaven help us there's been seven years of this piffle... quite how is a mystery frankly but i'm awful glad regardless most especially for the tatty old thing introducing me to a lovely bunch of the very finest folk i've ever had the pleasure to raise a glass with... here's to you sweet things... and to everyone who pops by too...

dear barbara was the first artiste to get her song sung here long ago so let's have another... not the jolliest number but what a marvel...
