apple cider free-for-all

with beginning of the advent of 1000-apples-plus, i hearby proclaim my retirement as welcome-cider-hostess. it was great while it lasted but have grown to dispise the little tartan skirt, the too tall-for-me tights and the frilly blouse. i have opted instead for the role of an airline stewardess on air france. with any luck, Lacroix will have me outfitted within the week and i can then dip into that french wine they never export.
help yourselves to the cider!
drink deep,
and
"welcome"
