You have an amazing ability to paint fine pictures using words instead of paint. I look forward to the continuation of the story!

I too had grasshoppers as I was learning to consume alcohol on a date -- about 60 years ago. At the time it was my favorite drink. Are you going to write a sequel to learn if Adeline completed her assignment? Genie

Hi Genie, I did quite enjoy Adeline and will do a follow up. My next few will be a three part story set in Scotland. I hope you enjoy those.

Hi Michael, This article was nostalgic for me. My early days of alcohol consumption were in the early 60's and I did drink Grasshoppers and Pink Squirrels. I probably haven't had one in over 50 years! My taste turned to wine, not vodka-based drinks. Best wishes, Ede
