Word of the day
I received a letter which thanked me for a glorious tea in my "bosky garden." Assuming this to be a modern insult, I checked the dictionary. To my surprise, it means "wooded." Another friend wonders if it could be a suitable adjective for Chardonnay.

Dear WW - I cannot believe you didn't know bosky. After all, "And with each end of thy blue bow dost crown My bosky acres, and my unshrubb'd down," Shakespeare, William, Tempest, The: Act IV..... and elsewhere I think too
You are more of a Shakespearian than I , KL. I prefer "bosky acres" to "bosky garden." I suppose that's what distinguishes a poet...
I'm sure you have bosky acres!
or "boschetto" in Italian
Shall we have biscotti in our boschetti acres?
Bos means forest in Dutch.
That's interesting, ED.
