Not even half empty

A lovely spring/summer weekend ahead and the Pimms bottle is empty, not a problem in England where every supermarket stocks it, but here? The only option is to go to the specialist wine shop or convince a friend visiting in 10 days to bring as many bottles as sleazyjet will allow her.

The forecast of fab weather means that the shops will be full of BBQ food, the river paths full of cyclists who choose to not understand the word 'footpath', our* eisecafés full of tourists and the roads populated by bikers and cabrios.
