A year has passed ...

Wow. More than a year has passed since my last blog post. I will soon add new posts regulary again...
In the past year I have moved 2 times - now living in Southern Spain on the Costa del Sol, in a picturesque Spanish pueblo with views to the Sea and the Mountains (located near Malaga and Marbella.) My cocktail book collection is growing again.

If you have an old cocktail/drinks book for sale, don't forget to drop me a note...
