A perfect evening

[Stick]

Well, I just had to share this with you...

Some close family friends who moved away last autumn popped by this weekend for a visit. We had a great Saturday catching up with all their news and as always the children had a ball. Once the children were tucked up in bed and the girls were nattering in the lounge the gentlemen took their leave and retired to the man cave. Over a bowlful of a Gauntleys' hand blended aro and a few good drams of my favourite single malt (16 yr old Lagavulin) which I'd been saving for a special occasion we sorted out the mess in the Ukraine, mapped out our careers, talked about motor vehicles, and reminisced about our favourite rock climbs and other adventures . It was a most agreeable hour or so, which was made all the more special by being able to share it with a close friend; something which, due to my lifestyle happens rarely for me. Splendid.

I don't know what I like more; the story or how much pleasure it gave you. Small things like that are always the best, I find. I'm glad you had such a wonderful time with kith and kin.

Sounds like a great time. Nothing like sharing a good beverage and tobacco with a friend.
