Only 174 shopping days left till Christmas(No I really haven't a clue, I made it up). It is however time to start the Christmas preparations as the first of the Elderflowers are ready for picking.
This years Elderflower Cordial will be even better than normal. This time, they were picked from our own drive.
Due to the popularity of this particular Christmas Pressie, I am determined to (try) to make more than one batch. Only one snag. I have forgotten to save wine bottles. Oh dear. There may need to be some serious drinking done in the next week or two to free some bottles up.
With Husband still on Light Duties due to his back problem, I decided to do a bit more in the garden this afternoon. The Rocket Launcher is no more............
Still plenty of hardcore to dig out and barrow round next door (it's great having neighbours who want all your rubble!), but at least all the pavers are up now.
I see I am a bad influence on you (or perhaps a good influence?), {giggle}. Well done for dealing with the RL on your own - I always thought it was the top of a missile silo . . .
ReplyDeleteGreat to bump into you this week, sorry it wasn't for longer
Don't worry Bilbo, you can't take any blame. those who have known me for many years will stand testament to my previous history!
