Flud -u-like

No fishing yet over the break. Not surprising given the dump of rain we've had, with more to come. We are now in Tier 4  as well as of an hour after midnight today. This was this afternoon. 

Meanwhile, Christmas night sunset was glorious.

Now, I don't spend much on a bottle of wine as a rule as a  LIDL Shiraz at £3.99 is dependable and quaffable. But a visit to Plonk in The Gangway in Cromer pre Tier 4 madness saw me pick up this deeply intense  (French so a tad dry for me, bought up on oaked New World reds ) Faugeres with some pepper from the Syrah for the suitably reduced Bure Boy Villas Christmas lunch gathering. Terroir may or may may not be a load of old schist but this was a belter and if the viticulturist believes enough in it to put his or her heart into getting the  best out the land then the proof of the pudding is in the drinking. Worth nearly 4 LIDL dependables? I'd say so for a one off.
