Liz Moody’s Dulwich Life is written by Anna Sayburn, inspired by Gainsborough’s portrait “Mrs Elizabeth Moody and Her Two Sons”. It imagines how Mrs Moody might live today.
Saturday 27 April
Huge panic! Realised I’d forgotten to get any wine for the olive oil tasting party tomorrow. Well, obviously, there’s Mr M’s cellar, but he made me promise not to touch anything stored sideways, after the girls and I accidentally got through £1200-worth of wine one Friday night.
Skidded into the Majestic carpark in the Cayenne and grabbed a couple of cases of Cloudy Bay. Was struggling to shift them into the car when, ta-da! Who should I see jogging past in his lovely rugby-coaching shorts but Mr Linley. I gave him a wave and he came over to help. He had a face like thunder, although he cheered up when I invited him to the olive oil tasting. He beamed and said he’d love to come. Can’t wait! It’s going to be such a fantastic success.
