the winegetter

I like to sit back on Sunday mornings with a cup of homemade milk coffee (beans ground in my peugeot hand grinder, coffee made in my stove top espresso maker that I have had for ages), read a magazine or browse online. I like finding pieces that are interesting but not overwhelming, broadening my horizon. Here are quick links to my suggestions for a Sunday read:
