A nice glass of port


28/04/17 – This pic was taken at the Cumby in Glanville, soon after they’d been taken over by new owners. Charlotte had a bit of a cold and ordered a glass of port. There was a discussion amongst the new staff over what glass should be used for port and they weren’t aware there were two types of schooner: big ones and little ones.

Always strikes me as a delightfully grandiose concept for a little shopping centre. Mind you, they have got a Target.
