Some evenings, we took a picnic into the woods, with abottleofwhitewine wrapped in a crisp tea towel, wineglasses in a cedarwood container, and a flask of coffee.
We found out later that Arthur McKechnie mostly just got dressed up in his odd clothes and sat alone in a Chinese restaurant with a half bottleofwhitewine and a plate of crispy fried duck.
It was washed down with abottleof Chaple Down Bacchus whitewine from Kent, England (yes, England), for the novelty value that also unwittingly kept our meal's food miles down.
