Luckily I had this handy can of Tesco’s own brand furniture polish.

1)A bunch of us sitting on a beach in Ardnamurchan around a lit fire, watching the sun set behind the hills as we pass round the whisky, the smokes (of various kinds) for those who indulge, and jars of scallops for the pescatarians.

Come fly with me
What are you waiting for
Come fly with me
Don’t waste a minute more
I’ll give you my prime time

For no one else but you
Come closer dear
That’s all you have…[Read more]
