Homemade sausages

Gregoire Kretz

All males - 5 guys who have partnerships in the business. D'you know I couldn't say that to them, I know that Johnny the oldest has had a rough time this year following his divorce....yet he is the one who always says "Hello lovepot" when I walk in the door.... makes me blush.

Then there's Steve who saw my pic in the local newspaper when I first moved down here (I set up a local club for hobbyists of a certain kind) and always asks me how "the little ones" are.

And the other guy who will never forgive me for trying to get a pet rat to sit on his shoulder at this year's Southsea Show. He ran out of the marquee as if the devil was after him.

Plus the others whose names haven't quite registered but all give me bonhomie and banter and make my day. They collectively own a couple of racing greyhounds andt he shop is festooned with winning trophies.... new meaning to "fit as a butcher's dog" !!

Will now have to say they are Bransbury Butchers in Eastney Rd, Portsmouth.... Who else has great guys like these who also sell accredited meat and whose chickens taste like real chickens?

A worthy plug.
