Here’s a little song I wrote...

Going to taste it note by note…. you might recognise the original (but it is not quite a Bobby McFerrin)


On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A wedge of some very fine cheese

On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Two Crozier Ewes and a wedge of some very fine cheese.

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Three Crottin, two Crozier Ewes and a wedge of some very fine cheese.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Four Bulging Bries, three Crottin, Two Crozier Ewes….. 


On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Five Ripe Epoisses, four Bulging Bries, Three Crottin….

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Six Cheddars a-biting, five Ripe Epoisses, Four Bulging Bries

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Seven Blues a-weeping, six cheddars a-biting, five Ripe Epoisses

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Eight lads a-milking, seven blues a-weeping, six cheddars a-biting…..

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Nine Comtés rolling, eight lads a-milking, seven blues a-weeping….

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Ten Mongers running, nine Comtés rolling, eight lads a-milking….

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Eleven Ports & Brandies, ten Mongers running, nine Comtés rolling

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,

Twelve Mont D’Or stinking, eleven Ports & Brandies, ten mongers running, nine Comtés rolling, eight lads a-milking, seven blues a-weeping, six cheddars biting, five ripe Epoisses, four Bulging Bries, three Crottin, two Crozier Ewes and a Wedge of some very fine Cheese!

    1. Thank you! Clearly this is the result of too much cheese at night. Have a good Christmas xo. And a fabulous time at Ballymaloe.
