shewhomustD. has been with us intermittently since last Friday - intermittently since he has also been visiting family in Northumberland and attending an archaeology conference in York - which is one reason why I haven't posted in the last week.

Red fruit and spicy notes (pepper, liquorice, tobacco), fine tannins" and I wouldn't argue with that.
Last night D. and I went to a concert by Terry Conway and Liz Law (with harpist Julie-Ann Morrison) at the Lit & Phil. They gave us a chronological sample of songs from the north of England from the border ballads via Tommy Armstrong to Terry's own compositions. This was the last song of the evening, and the high point:
