a plate of cheese no. 10: saint nectaire, old winchester and barkham blue

"As I sat in the bath tub, soaping a meditative foot and singing, if I remember correctly, ‘Pale Hands I Loved Beside the Shalimar,’ it would be deceiving my public to say that I was feeling boomps-a-daisy"
- from Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit by P.G. Wodehouse

"It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on"
- from River by Joni Mitchell

L: St Nectaire (£2.50/100g); C: Old Winchester (£2.05/100g); R: Barkham Blue (£2.75/100g)
