Back in the 1912-3 when the Greeks fought first with turks and latter with the bulgarians to liberate a part of Greece called Macedonia, they composed a song for this purpose.
It's called "Famous Macedonia, Alexander's country", you can hear here the civilian "edition" as played for decades:

And I'll light a bowl tonight in your grandfathers honour and memory Sid. Thanks for sharing another Greek historical perspective.


This AM I started out with some '12 BBF in an estate Hardcastle Old Bruyere straight 'doggy with a very thin saddle stem. Great combo.

Noonish had some good ol' PA in a Pete 999 Flame Grain.

Some aged 5100 is awaiting for after supper, in a dedicated Stanny Legend 19.



Cheers,
