It is absolutely chucking it down, but even so the idea of actual swimming seems optimistic.

On a related note, the same recipe works pretty well with very ripe raspberries.
Wondering if it would work even better with a different spirit - perhaps a smokier Mezcal.

Unfortunately wet slippery stone steps brought about my literal downfall a few days ago. I now have new bits of metal in my ankle.
So I’m getting a different view of the city.
This was a brighter view from my window

Glad I was able to get to the track taproom before my train home from Manchester.
Their (very) fresh Live For You DIPA is just the thing.

So, the Nick and Nori was perhaps a better pun than cocktail. But it was genuinely interesting.
I was hoping for the umami you get from nori in the cocktail itself. Which was savoury and good, but a bit lacking in depth.

We woke up this morning to this view from our bedroom.
It did however come with very snowy roads for our journey home from the Peak District. #exciting
