"Hundreds of Belvoirs".

It’s great when people mispronounce words though as you know they probably learnt it by reading & English is a total mess of homonyms, homophones, calques & loan words that it’s hardly surprising people don’t always know how to say a word
All those Belvoirs, Featherstonhaughs & Cholmondleys

Nice and early for the eager Belvoirs… 👌🏼

I'm actually astounded. I didn't know beavers had webbed feet. I believe the Belvoirs have webbed hands.

My book club is better than yours.

Oh, no doubt. It was more of a rhetorical question as to why *that specific* hunt… why do we call people berks rather than, say, quorns or belvoirs?

I've been getting my mouth around some sparkling Belvoirs recently. Theur Mojito mocktail is very nice.
