Run Forrest! Well, carved wooden man…closer to a forest than you will ever get…fine! That’s it, I am going home!

Yup, a lot worse. A fine finish to a fine meal. Subtly smokey honey coats your mouth as you sip and enjoy. Tranquil.

Yes, it was freezing but the fragrant harbour is not quite so fragrant near the water. Quite lovely, really…
