You lived in Ludlow?

Somehow I have a hard time placing you in a place like Ludlow

Lovely town. And agreed on the butchers. Love the fresh ciders the area produces. Some of it is downright lethal!

Oh, acing a former male indian davis cup player. Don't know who was more surprised but it still gives me a rush of adrenalin thinking about it.

Sitting at a table with good friends,eating good food, drinking and laughing. An aching, crying deep belly laugh is one of my favourite things in the world.

Acing? Is that a euphemism??

Loved Ludlow, adored living there, couple of Michelin starred restaurants, The Feathers too.

A few miles out, The Jolly Frog, really fantastic time living there.

Happiest few years of my life (at the time).

Scooters

I love them. I've owned a 50cc and a 125cc in younger years and cannot wait to embrace them again.

Love just scootering around in Asia or southern Europe.

Excellent. Especially the last.

Similar to that, flushing an any-iron (preferably longer like a 5 iron) off a nice fairway to the green. Effortless connection, doesn't feel like you've hit anything. Dreamy.

Bacon
It's like Vincent said.

Got to be in there. But pretty much any pork product will do.

My own 4 cheese pizza, Danish Blue, Gorgonzola, Limburg and Feta.

A BBQ on your patio in the Yorkshire sunshine, with British sausages, rib-eye steaks, corn on the cob, home-made coleslaw, English beer and red wine.

Yes, it actually happened last week.

Live football match, at night, under floodlights, slight drizzle to have the ball zip off the surface, a few crunching tackles. All preceded by a couple of pints.

All very good
How many of those laughs do you get in a lifetime though? 5? 10? 15? Certainly not loads of the proper, proper deep ones.

Good call. Loved having a scooter in Thailand, even if it was pretty scary at times.

Nope, sorry. It's like a roast dinner. Totally overrated.

A decent pokey car, sunny day, Scottish highland roads...... foot down! Or you can substitute a car for a decent sportsbike, something like a GSX-R 750. Not too big, not too small, the perfect balance between a thousand monster and a nimble 600 but still with approx 150 BHP (840 BHP/Tonne...).

A beer garden on a barmy Summer evening when you know its a bank holiday the next day.

Sitting in your window seat on a plane and watching an absolute stunner walk down and sit right next to you. The cream on top is when she ends up being uber cool and you end up having a great time.

Opening your wallet the day after a mental day / night out to find a big wad of cash only to recolect that you'd been in the casino the night before. The cream on top when you turn to your equally hungover best mate who finds the same. Oh I miss the carefree days of Uni.

Sat in terminal 3 at 4.00am with a pint and a bacon butty looking forward to two weeks of bliss in Gozo.

That was five weeks ago
