Now look here people, Freda may look cute and cuddly but if The Serf can't get the milk then she is a bad cow!! I have told her that she has had several emails saying that she is quite right to cross her legs, but that doesn't excuse her.Anyway, she did relent in the end, but wanted to pass on her good wishes and thanks to those who emailed in and showed some cow appreciation.
OK, back on message. I was on the Solent at the weekend catching the only Mackerel within a 100 mile radius (very proud of myself) and at the end of a long day, coffee was made. I say, coffee, but it was that ground up instant stuff that resembles gravy. Anyway, I was tired, the sun had got to me and I was glowing in pride at the my catch, so I relented and accepted the Bisto. Well, it was the best darn coffee..... No actually it wasn't but it got me thinking - is taste a state of mind? Do our perceptions and environment have a bigger impact on our senses than we think
