Well I never ...




Whilst in Oxford St, a few weeks back, I spied this card.  It wasn't until I was in Scribbler looking for a suitable Father's day card that I picked it up and thought why not.  It is making it debut because during my regular Saturday morning newspaper flit and blog hop, I am reliably informed on thewomensroomblog that it is World Gin Day.  I am not prescribing this as a solution to all ills, heaven knows I might find you all thrown onto the street with your babies but hopefully the card will make both the teetotal and imbiber smile.

Happy weekend xxx

  2. I recently developed a taste for gin ( I know, who knew it was possible at my age?) after my Netherlands- based cousin left a bottle when she visited. It was a revelation. Really delicious. Definitely the way forward - or possibly downward.

    1. I like to think it gives me an air of sophistication, after spending my youth on sugary drinks.

  3. there are those moments aren't there, but really I think I have about one drink a year! I'm more likely to think about a cigarette, but that won't happen either. I haven't smoked for 15 years! life is so tame now but healthy!! Heather

    1. Well done on giving up cigarettes, I never smoked but realise how difficult it must be to stop.

  4. Love this card and the fact that it is World Gin Day. I must remember to toast it with a Gin and Orange tonight. It is one of my favourites tipples. I used to hate the smell of it in my younger days, but like the last commenter have in more recent years developed a taste for it. It started after drinking Mahon gin on a trip to Menorca, lovely stuff with Fanta lemon. Chin chin.

  5. Love this card and the fact that it is World Gin Day. I must remember to toast it tonight. I used to hate the smell of gin when younger, but like the last commenter have more recently acquired a taste for it, particularly after trying Mahon gin on a holiday in Menorca. A lovely drink with Fanta lemon and ice. Chin Chin.

  6. I'm taking this card very personally. I used to love a gin and tonic but it's years since I had one. I must go immediately and buy some - what have you started???

  7. Hello! Thank you for stopping by my blog! I know so many people who love gin and tonics. I have never tasted gin, but it must be a great combo.

  11. Gin gives me the most awful headache. I'm sure there must be a world whisky day which I will be able to support without reservation. I'd love to know more about the singing lessons. My voice is not wonderful but I would love to sing and have been contemplating lessons.
