Thank you Ted! I have not been able to find out about Coomes Alley unfortunately. I'd be interested to know.

Is wine still pasteurised. Maybe there’s some underlying health benefits to raw wine.

Excellent article but I have a minor correction. In context, what looks like Hebrew was almost certainly Yiddish.

Lurking in the background is a notion that through Science a woman need not be tied to her baby for more than a brief time.
