Today, February 8th, is the birthday of a true legend, who has almost certainly touched the heart strings or played on the pulses of millions of us. No, I’m not talking about Trinny Woodall, although we do of course wish her all the best for her 48th birthday today. No, the particular legend I’m thinking of today is John Williams, who is 80 years old today. John – a happy birthday to you!

Apparently it’s the summer, so they tell me. Although as I’m writing this I’m looking at out the rain hammering on the windows. But being in an optimistic frame of mind regardless I thought I’d offer one of my favourite summer cocktail recipes.
