I forgot to tell you all I had a good Sunday roast at The Grey's Inn at Embleton a while back - very worthy winners of this award.
If you want to dress well this fall, imagine yourself as Big Jim Collie, a Scottish crofter in the 1970s who lived alone in a bothy and rode a rickety old bicycle through the Lairig Ghru, the highest mountain pass in the highest mountain range in Britain, while sustaining himself on a bit of dram.
