Lord Noel Says "Mas Mojito Por Favor!"

Whatto once again my virtual friends!!

I must tell you all that I received a very urgent phonecall in the dead of night recently (last night to be exact) from a very dear friend who was worried that I might NOT be under the influence of alcohol......................!

She mentioned that she herself had recently partaken of a large quantity of the wonderful liquid refreshment named Mojito - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! .............. the mere mention of this exquisite drink took me immediately back to my time in Cuba.................. helping out 'Old Fidel' (as he liked me to call him)..........


...... There were so many evenings when I would signal to the barman with a traditional 'thumbs up' sign - for him to refill my glass with a fresh mint and white rum concoction................

He would even satisfy my urges in the nearby jacuzzi....................


But - my dear reader - there are many things that (once under the influence of this fine mixture) you should NEVER attempt!.............

For example!...............

Any lighting of Cuban cigars must be done with the utmost care - always making sure that the lighted end is AWAY from the sensitive lip area.............


Do NOT atempt to Salsa with any of the local inhabitants - not matter HOW irresistable they may seem............. The resulting pile of intertwined bodies is not a pretty sight....................

NEVER attempt to try to teach horses to swim - no matter how good an idea this may seem at the time.............. A wet horse can be very short tempered..................

NEVER wear leotards and panama hats in public or hang around with people who do...........

..................NEVER attempt to become over-familiar with the locals.....................

...........and NEVER............. EVER.............. EVER............... play 'My WAY!' on the pianoforte..........

No matter how much the crowd shout for 'MORE!'.............!!!
No................. instead dear reader ....... Find yourself a good, fully trained, local Nurse who can slowly wean you off the Mojitos and onto something less vegetational............... like frozen Margaritas for example...............

Here's a warning of what could easily happen to YOU!...............


This shot was taken at the Airport where an astute Cuban customs official - recognising in me the telltale signs of Mojito abuse................ you can see that he manages to extract Pure Mohjito juice from my left ear .............

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU DEAR READER!!!



JUST SAY "NO"!!!!
(......and that'll leave alot more for the rest of us!!)
Har har!!

Tallyho everyone!!
Best wishes - Lord Noel

Lord Noel Does Some Spontaneous Songwriting

Hello & Whatto to all and sundry!!

Welcome to my latest missive from Virtual Manor............

Those of you who know me will also be unsurprised by the fact that I consider myself at one with nature.............

Most days i can be found walking round the lanes that run through our rural idyll without a care in the world!.................

I was out walking the other day and the sights I saw inspired me to rush back to the Pianoforte and knock out a little ditty.....................

I hope you like it...........................


Obviously you wont have the benefit of hearing me sing..... so you may like to enjoy it purely on a poetic level.................

'Nature' - By Lord Noel

Oh Nature you're a wonderous lass!
you're smacking humans on the ass
with sights that bring the heart to brimming full.
The squirrels that race up the tree
and wag their tails and take a pee
way high above the pigeon and the gull.
And of them all - the ones with guts
are Great tits swinging on my nuts
they make me laugh and giggle till I'm ill.



Tally ho!
I shall be placing this song (amongst others) on my greatest hits CD which should be available in the Autumn.
Best wishes to you all - Lord Noel

Lord Noel Has Thoughts Of Sunshine

Whatto lovely readers!!

Around about this time of year - my mind strays towards thoughts of summer and sunshine......

......like "Where the blazes is it?!"

Having just returned from 6 weeks in Tenerife I must say that lil old England does take it's bally time to get warm doesn't it?!

One of the benefits of warmer days is the filling of the family jacuzzi............


With lots of lovely warm bubbly water........................... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!

Such an exquisite pleasure!!

To enjoy the cool clear skies at night with a nice glass of chilled Champers!!


But there has to be some standards about the whole thing...............
That's why I insist on a proper dress code.............. to avoid embarassment etc.........
Oh yes - one simply must dress appropriately.

That's why I insist on wearing.................... my bow tie!!

Whattoooooooo!! Tallyho for now!! Keep it wet!!!!
Best wishes - Lord noel
