Right, I’m not going to apologize – well OK yes I am. I’ve mentioned several times on social media that we were having a gin tasting party and this post is about the second event. First time I got a little too carried away and photo taking etc just didn’t happen. It barely happened second time round so to make up for lack of party photos when reading this post…
