Welcome back, Angela! Certainly now we have another reason to celebrate. Perhaps a glass of wine? :rolleyes:
Steve Waddaya mean a Glass - I bring it back in large quantities - 88 L this time - all from my favourite Winery in the Bordeaux area.  Just wait till you see the Photos I have taken [ yeah I know boasting - not a good idea] But it's nice to be back - and yes I did remember you all at Liturgy whilst I was there. Anhelyna

Christ is Risen! Welcome back, Anhelyna. Bishop's Finger - a true lady of culture indeed. Shephern Neame I understand is one of the oldest continually operating breweries in the UK. While it's great stuff, I prefer a good pint of Scottish ale like Belhaven or Traquir.  When it comes to wine I go for Byzantine "old country" wines like Mavrodaphne of Patras. Can't wait to see photos. Who was at the Ukrainian chapel celebrating Divine Liturgy when you were there?

Can't wait to see photos. Who was at the Ukrainian chapel celebrating Divine Liturgy when you were there? Father is resident in Lourdes - though it has to be admitted he is getting very frail now - uses a cane whilst walking. I find the Liturgy so wonderful - I just can't wait to go back in August [ my 'official' Pilgrimage] when I will have the great joy of bieng there the day after my arrival - hope that makes sense However Diak - there are 2 Ukrainian Altars in Lourdes !!! The Church of the Dormition and the Altar of the Ukraine [ as I believe it is known] in the Rosary Basilica itself - though very very few people know of it's existence and sadly even fewer care  As to the Photos - well I do not have a Web Site so though they are digital all I can do at present is e-mail them to folk. I have sent a few to Admin to see if he can post them for me - all of the Ukrainian Church itself [ though there are many many more of 'em] Anhelyna

Fascinating! And thanks everyone for your kind words...
But when it comes to drinks, the best is "rakia" (good old Bulgarian National Drink) and Guinness....and woe befall anyone who dares say that the Irish brew is bad...

Anton Just who would dare to say that the Irish brew is bad ???? I have it on excellent authority thet the stuff here tastes nothing like the stuff in it's natural home territory - do you suppose that also applies to what can be bought across the Big Pond ? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I must get down to London some time soonish - hmm how can I manage that. Now have a good rest for a bit - after all the brain work you need to recuperate :p Anhelyna

Well, when it is mixed with some Harp ( a concoction known by the rather unfortunate title of a "Black and Tan") , Guinness is quite good

"My Goodness my Guiness" "Guiness for Strength" It is tough to beat the old faithful Guiness, indeed. Although my wife insists Beamish is superior... Cork vs. Dublin - a bit of a marriage dispute there. Over here it is tougher to get someone who knows how to serve a good pint, right temperature, right nitrogen, letting it settle for topping off, etc. We have one close called the Red Lyon which does a pretty good job. The Irish have a few good ales, too, like Smithwick's and some others. Yorkshire ales like Newcastle have to be in there somewhere as well...I'm getting thirsty with all of this talk. it's definitely not the Great Fast anymore, is it? Christ is Risen!

They might - just possibly might , regenerate if you give them half a chance . Didn't realise that brain cells were necessary for the F.O. though :p
