So, who wants to help ... to cower in the cellar?

sounds familiar. But there are four Cropwell Bishop Creamery blues, none called that, and it is likely to be one of them but I have no idea which! It’s not a hard cheese exactly,more squidgey.

Definitely a ripe Camembert, Carinthia. They had Brie as well but it wasn’t so ripe.

And Yummy was indeed the word.

A lady I knew who was a showgirl in the 1930s who married a wealthy Harley St doctor drank nothing but her lethal gin/dubonnet cocktails and made sure every visitor had one

Gentlemen got whiskey or cognac

She was a darling and she spoilt me rotten sending me to the boutique to get a new outfit if she thought I had need of one
At Christmas I was sent to the posh jeweller to have the pick of the shop

All I did was help her with the choreography for the children’s chorus in the local pantomime and visit her and the doctor at least once a week

I still have her gold leather clutch bag

This had me so intrigued I not only googled, I googled my googling. Could it be this?

Doesn’t look quite the same, but if yours is more mature… ?

The name sounds really familiar but I don’t think it can be that one, because what we have is not really hard; but Nettlebed would be local to Henley, which adds to the plausibility…

I am just going to have to go there again, aren’t I, and scout it all out. They are a butcher too, and they get their lamb in on Wednesdays, so really fresh liver and kidneys. And they do fish, and make their own sausages…
