Bizarre at first glance, this was in fact a decent gift and a gracious one, likewise graciously received, until the neo-puritans began to take their ritual offence.

Sadly I cannot abandon my beloved guest to attend this. That would be unthinkable. This is a pity, since the “nosebag (at the House) is top notch”. (Minder on the Orient Express)

The Exquisite Adonis Blue
The Adonis Blue, loveliest of all the blue butterflies and rivalled only, perhaps, by the White Admiral as a thing of delicate wonder in flight, lending its grace to the beauty of the chalk uplands of southern England. This is the butterfly of our joyous childhood excursions to Hod Hill, where, I hope, it will continue to flourish long after the footprints of rapacious men fade from view. LJ
The parasol mushrooms are earlier this year and are excellent when steeped in egg and pan-fried with seasoning and fresh parsley.
Fresh from an English garden and quite deliciously juicy!
“Und er hat nur ein Ding auf Erden wahrhaft als den Widergeist der Vernunft gehaßt: den Fanatismus.” from “Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam (German Edition)” by Stefan Zweig
The world would gain much were the spirit of Erasmus to walk abroad amongst us in this age of populist frenzy, fecklessness and phoney hope. That of Zweig would be of comparable benefit. LJ
