Darrell and Nigel decided to avail themselves of a coffee while out and about in Bude, in what, an excited Nigel declared was “….. a Gin Palace!”, however, I think he may have got his lines a bit crossed because, according to Darrell, it was actually The North Coast Wine Bar ……..
…… but you know Nigel, he does “occasionally” get a little carried away with his enthusiasm! 
It was a place, knowing Darrell’s propensity for keeping his beloved Cocktail Cabinet well stocked up, where he could have very easily got carried away …… but fortunately, a bit like yesterday, his natural exuberance was again reined in, not this time by a lack of stock ……..
…….. but a lack in funds, the prices of all the very tempting and exotic tinctures were a little prohibitive, and so well out of Darrell’s price range, and perhaps this was no bad thing as a fine fifty year old blended whiskey or brandy might not be allowed to exactly “bloom” in one of Darrell’s Vieux Carre or Rusty Nails, most splendid as they are!!!
So instead Darrell and Nigel simply enjoyed the pleasures of an artisan roasted latte ….. which appeared to go down just as easily!
A posh bottle of spirits in a cocktail? It would be a bit of a waste.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be something! .....a Gin Palace in Bude!! .....so many temptations for Darrell as he envisioned those bottles sparking away in the cocktail cabinet.....but that latte is the best sort of compensation.....another great day in Bude!!....Love, Dianne
