Just heard that the miners who have been trapped half a mile below ground in Chili have started to be brought up, one bearing a gift of small rocks which he distributed among his rescuers. I do hope they all come up safely and eventually manage to adjust to 'normal' life.
At work again yesterday, and Romy back, bearing a large bottle of Chufi horchata for me. There is a story that King Jaume 1 of Catalunya, when visiting Valencia, was offered a small glass of this refreshing drink by a little girl, and asking what it was, she said 'tigernut milk'. He replied 'Axo no es llet, axo es or, xata' - 'This is not milk, it's gold, kid'. Hence the name Horchata. That's the story, anyway.
