Susie and Gyles are in high spirits today as they lead us on a discovery to the essence of our souls…at least etymologically!

We are delving into the world of spirits but not the religious or ghostly type… the alcoholic kind. This exploration will take us across the globe as we visit Geneva for our gin followed by a jaunt to Japan to discover why ordering “Sake” might not get you what you want. Susie will take us on a trip to Germany for a mouthful of Schnapps before she escorts us to India for a hot toddy to soothe her cold. We will learn why the name Gyles ‘Brandy’ Brandreth leaves him blushing and our hosts reveal the winning sonnet sent in from a Purple Person.

Susie’s trio:

Brachiate - to swing through the trees with ease using your arms

Hirrient - a trilling sound (purring of a cat, or rolling your ‘r’s’)

Chirocracy - to ‘rule by hand’, the result of ruling with force
