  Thank you 🙂 I’d never tell anyone what to eat but apparently octopuses are incredibly intelligent. Might be a good time to switch to calamari!

  Thank you 🙂 You’re lucky to have access to the ocean; I only get to see it every few years, alas.

    Haha, yes, one of the advantages of living in a small region where you are only ever, at most less than an hour from the sea. However, you have plenty that we don’t! 😉

    I don’t know– with the ocean, lost cities, werewolves, saints, witches, pirates, and your local food and wine, I think you might be ahead 🙂
