I enjoyed that - and now regret not having taken up cricket at school.

As long as he brings one of those bottles from his cellar!

We know he’s in the UK this summer. And we know when he’s going to be in London.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

How about a theme of Port from years we won the Ashes. It has the added bonus that there are two calendar years in an away series. And if anyone can find a way of working a bi-plane reference into the theme, how could he resist?
