I'm happy to have discovered your witty and amusing blog too, which often makes me homesick for London.

We are separated by an entire hemisphere yet we share so much in common (including a birthday it seems). I do hope that if you ever find yourself in California, you make a point of letting me know. <br /><br />Oh, and I've yet to crack open a bottle of something, but now that you've mentioned it ....yes, I see a glass or three of bubbly in my immediate future.

I blush at your effusive praise and only hope to write as well as you do on your fine blog, and with as much enthusiasm and passion on subjects that inspire. <br /><br />For me, the best part of blogging has been the connection with those that read and comment on CD, and for that I'm most grateful. I do hope that one of these days, in the not too distant future, a journey to these shores will materialize for I am certain that many of your stateside commenters will be thrilled to perhaps get the opportunity to meet you finally.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-42030017269306708972015-01-28T10:34:09.461-08:002015-01-28T10:34:09.461-08:00Dear columnist,

Goodness, that all sounds terribly nasty and a prescription for disaster. Oh, and fear not for dear Reggie, as I have it on good authority that he did survive my marmalade escapades and did not succumb to anything ghastly as a result of my failing to sterilize the marmalade jars, or some such thing.<br /><br />Thank you again, GSL, for being such a trooper and providing this blog with some excellent insight and wit through your many comments, which are always welcome and appreciated.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-44478600210713753402015-01-28T09:51:59.603-08:002015-01-28T09:51:59.603-08:00Thank you, AD.

It seems incredible for you are so much part of the infrastructure that it feels as if you have been present for so much longer.<br /><br />The Blogosophere is so much richer for your presence. Yours is a cultured, intelligent and informed voice. You write with authority, passion and, always, it seems to us, from the heart. We feel privileged to be amongst your readers.<br /><br />We always write for ourselves, primarily, as we suspect you do too. It is, therefore, so heartwarming And encouraging when people are kind enough to comment and connect. And, connect we do for you draw us in with your keen eye, your sharp wit and your elegant prose.

I thought of both you and Reggie recently when I had the pleasure of sampling the most exquisite home-made (not by me) orange marmalade - thick, very dark and with an unexpected hint of toffee. I suspect it may have been left on the stove top a little too long - a serendipitous outcome if ever there was one! I'll attempt to replicate it with a recipe I've found for burnt orange marmalade.
