Fromage my friend, fromage!

Away from top lipped Tom Foolery for a moment. I've been on a cheese mission.

The most nuclear cheese on earth it would seem is - Epoisses de Bourgogne. It's in a wooden box, wrapped in cling film, in tupperware, inside a knotted plastic bag...and I can still smell it.

This cheese is banned from public transport in France and that says a lot...not renowned for their delicate nasal sensibilities, the French.

There's a distinct smell of death about it. I was cutting some earlier and I couldn't avoid handling it. Now my hand smells like it has gangrene.

And this was courtesy of La Cave a Fromage, Hove. If you were after a cheesy night out in Brighton (& Hove), this is where you should aim for.

Wonderful.

Blighty Bound

Borough, London
So that's it. Cheerio Hong Kong, au revoir SE Asia, so long to global wayfaring and HELLO Blighty. So was I cheered into the country at a cheese and champers reception? Were friends lining up to clasp me close and bid me a welcome home? Was bunting lining Behomia? Well...sort of:

Actually, it's pretty cool to be back.
