Thanks for posting here on the Coffee Shop forum, stuving: I regard you (highly) as 'our European correspondent'.

I love the side comments and further detail in some of the answers; for consistecy I logged just the place name and the person correctly identifying them here.   Many gems amongst them and I hsve been so lucky to have had the opportunity to visit them all, in person, over recent years.

Just one left
