My journey to England was fantastic. Well, the connections and timing, that is. The transatlantic portion of my trip was super bumpy. I have never experienced such turbulence on a flight, it didn't bother me at all. After decompressing for a couple of days, Thud treated me to a really nice wine on Friday night (paired with the
best wood-fired oven pizzas). He'd purchased it from my favourite shop, Marks & Spencer.
The Amalaya, Blanco De Corte, 2016 Torrontés-Riesling (Calchaquí Valley, Argentina) was delicious; crisp, fruity, aromatic and refreshing. Ever so slightly off-dry, the blend worked well with the acidity of the tomato sauce and especially with the crispy pancetta pizza. Yum and yum.
It's good to be home.

NHW: Ha! Thud wouldn't tell me just how many "pounds" he paid for it.
Twas a good nosebag!
