Lovely - I expect to have a cocktail this evening - I’ve assorted drinks in my lovely black cabinet with half glass doors. I just look and see what I fancy - if uninspired I have a little book and a deck of recipes.
Hi Alice, thank you for sharing these beautiful memories. I have always tried to love martinis. Reading this piece drew laughs and tears from my face. I think I may have a new reason to try to love them.
Moved me to tears, especially given I also lost my father to sudden cardiac arrest when he was 62 and have been left with so many unsolvable mysteries about him. What brilliant writing - surgically precise and full of heart, even a twist of humour. Thank you ❤️🩹
what a stunning piece Alice, thank you. a beautiful tribute to your father.
Loved reading this!
Lovely unity of voice and purpose! You can smell the cigarettes and citrus peels. ❤️
Beautiful work & discerning taste.
I loved reading this so much. I’m not a martini drinker, but I think I will be this evening
how beautiful!

This made me cry

This was fantastic.
Martinis and grief - a gorgeous cocktail of a piece, pun intended 🩷
