Game, set and match
The start of the new school year marks the beginning of the game bird season. Being completely lily-livered, I have never despatched anything larger than an unfortunate fly, but I really look forward to being able to buy fresh, local game at the butchers here in Southwold.

A fruity little number
There’s nothing more satisfying than setting off for a walk and stumbling across a hedgerow of ripe blackberries. Who can resist the gorgeous colour of those ripe, bursting berries? I defy anyone to walk past without sampling a few of the choicest morsels plucked from the topmost branches. By August and September, we are treated to a number of different berries, a few you can forage, but most from your local greengrocer or farmers’ market unless you are particularly green fingered.

Wines for barbecues
The barbecue season is well and truly here, and apart from the smell of freshly cut grass, the aroma of roasted meats and charcoal both mark the arrival of the British summer. All that is needed is a selection of sun kissed wines which will complement or challenge the strong flavours of mixed grills and peppery salads and of course, perfect for sipping outside.

A Chauffeur with bottle(s)
One of my daytime duties is to escort visiting winemakers from foreign parts to meet our Cellar & Kitchen staff in Suffolk, Norfolk – and beyond. My most recent bout of chauffeuring has been to drive around two growers, hot from their Loire Valley vineyards, to visit our shops.

Whine and Foodie
As a social occasion for participants to top up their cholesterol and alcohol levels, a wine and cheese matching evening would be hard to beat. But as a means to discovering that winning taste combination, it’s about as much use as backing a three-legged nag to win at Newmarket.
