1939
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
A film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s novel of the same name.
… Cornwall, 1819. Her mother’s dying request takes young Mary on a sad journey across the bleak moorland of Cornwall to reach Jamaica Inn, the home of her Aunt Patience. A home which, as she discovers over a time, is also a residence for a group of murderous wreckers. “ O Lord, we pray Thee, not that wrecks should happen, but that if they do happen, Thou wilt guide them to the coast of Cornwall for the benefit of the poor inhabitants. “ So runs the prayer, but things can be helped a bit….in this lawless corner of Britain, with salvage storms , wild waves breaking over the sharp cliffs and official justice being so far away …..
Gin& Tonic
a very classic..but we have used Plymouth Gin, produced since 18 century in a small distillery in Cornwall, blended with real Indian Tonic Water, containing natural Quinine. Apart of prevention of malaria this has been a very tasty drink!
4 to 5 tonic water Ice Cubes (oki..we didn’t do that 😉
3 ounces gin (recommended: Plymouth Gin)
4 ounces tonic water (Fever Tree)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Lime wedge for garnish
Place the ice cubes in a tall, narrow, chilled glass (the cubes should come near the top.) Add the gin, then the tonic water, then the lime juice, stirring well. Garnish with lime wedge, and serve immediately.
