Had a lovely glass of pinot noir earlier, now finishing the day with a Laphroaig and a bowl of Velvet in the Clark's favourite. Life is good 🥃

Lovely start to the day - a bowl of Nougat 24 in my favourite pipe, along with some hazelnut coffee and light reading.

Well, it's been a crazily busy few days, hence I haven't posted much recently. We've celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday, I've redecorated the study and fitted a new security gate in the garden.The heating engineer is coming to service the boiler later so, after dropping my good lady off...

Take care, and all the very best for your recovery.

The snugness keeps me focused. I do most of my writing and editing in there, so need to use the time well. A few more creature comforts and it may be more of a Hobbit hole than hobby hole!

Finally got the study close to finished today. Put up my Green Dragon sign and my pioe smoking fisherman too. I don't smoke indoors, but have my baccies in a drawer, with some pipes in a wall-mounted rack. Others are kept in the drawer under the baccies. I'm eyeing up spots to the left of the...

It never gets old.

Now reading Du Maurier's 'Jamaica Inn'. Not Read it before, but am really enjoying it.

It's my daughter's 18th birthday today so, while she's out celebrating with friends, and 'dad's taxi' remains on standby, I have time to sneak in a couple of bowls, starting with Velvet in the Vauen McRooty. When she gets home, we'll make smores over the firepit.

Been hard at work painting in the garden today . Time to chill with some Orlik Vintage Sliced in my Amphora Milos 310s.

Rain coming in tomorrow so, as I smoke outdoors, I thought I'd sneak in another cheeky bowl - a little EMP in an unnamed author.

And we've made it! I'm ready for a much-needed summer holiday, and am celebrating its arrival with some Sutliff pumpkin spice in a cob 👍

Wow! I'd be melting in that kind of heat!

Love that pipe!!!

Almost there! One day left until the end of term, celebrated with some Velvet in a MM Hickory Hill.

Don't apologise. You're amongst friends here, all of whom wish you well and all of whom are genuinely interested in how you're doing. I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, and mean no offence to those who have been members for a long time, but in my short time here, I've really found that...

Time for some Haunted Bookshop in the Butz . In honesty, I had a little trepidation about this one having never smoked it before and hearing how strong it can be. No problem on the strength front but, as I'm a new pipe smoker, I can't say I enjoyed it all that much. I think I'll need to let my...

It's only one week before the end of the academic year so for once, I've no work to do on the weekend! I'm just getting nice and settled for a lazy Sunday with a pot of coffee and a bowl of PS Nougat 24 in the Sav Clark's favourite.

Time now for some home-mixed English blend in a little unnamed author 👍

Happy weekend, chaps. Really enjoying a lovely bowl of Velvet in a MM Cob with a glass of pinot noir. Lovely stuff.
