Scottish Ginphographic

Thanks to 5pm.co.uk for reminding me of what I’ve missed out on (I think Hendrick’s is the only one that I’ve tried…)
Brittania scarf
Boden is having another big sale and check out this Brittania scarf! Cute, right? It features landmarks in the UK and Ireland and is 100% wool. It is available in ivory ($23.20) or navy ($34.80). Get it before it’s gone!

I was amused by this – and I think my West Country friends and relatives will be, too!
Tube map of cocktail bars
I’m absolutely enamored with this tube map of cocktail bars in London, as seen on Ginmonkey.co.uk.
All cocktail bars are within walking distance of their respective tube station. It’s a great concept and still a work in progress! If you have any suggestions, you can contact Ginmonkey. And many thanks to Martini Mandate for leading me to it!
