That is rather splendid. The colour really suits it.

If Uncles can’t be a bad influence on their nephews and nieces, what is the point!

Staying on the subject of uncles:
The very first family New Years Eve party that Mrs F came to at my parents house took place around 3 months after we met. At the time Mrs F had a liking for Dubonnet & Lemonade (this was the 70’s!). Half way through the evening, she asked me to mix her another. I complied but instead of cheery gratitude, all I got was “That’s not as nice as the one Uncle Max mixed for me, hic.” I challenged Uncle Max and he let slip that his mix included a liberal dash of Gin.
