Life Less Literary

We were talking wedding talk, and June mentioned that Marks & Spencers are selling pre-mixed Kir Royale at the moment, and have it on special offer at £4 a bottle. Well, talk of things pre-mixed makes me suspicious, and knowing June’s taste in wine I wasn’t exactly hopeful, but Cath said it was good too, so we gave it a go. Euuurgh. Yuk yuk yuk. Gill thought it tasted like Schloer (not how it’s spelt but I don’t know how it is) whereas I found it more like Ribena mixed with slightly flat fizzy water, only sweeter and less blackcurranty. Nope, I think we’ll stick to our original plan of a nice Cava and some proper Cassis. We might buy the pre-mixed Bucks Fizz though, as we won’t be drinking that…. mwahahahaha!
