Elderflower Champagne

Ronnie and I went on a scavenger hunt today and found some impressive elderflowers at the playground. We started picking in front of a large collective of children and parents enjoying the sunshine and we probably looked a little daft, but I don't care!!

After a little go on the swings and slide we came home and I made a batch of Hugh FW's Elderflower Champagne. It smells lovely! Its just water, sugar, lemon zest and juice, white wine vinegar and elderflower heads. It makes about 2% proof but tastes pretty good in the middle of summer.

So for the mo here is a picture of it beginning to ferment on the kitchen table (using one of Ronnies muslin!) and after a couple of days it should get a bit frothy and foamy!

I will try and get photos as it ferments.

So next time....mouldy elderflowers!

Bunting

I've always been a bit of a craft nerd and so thought I would use my blog to show bits I've made. Some good, some not so good!

I promised a friend I would make her something for her new craft shop and cafe. I had a few ideas and then Bunting came to mind.

Way too much bunting.... I've got a bit trangled out but love making it!

So me, Rhys and Ronnie went for a walk looking for hedgerows to take picures of the bunting in, looked a little bit silly but I'm pleased with Rhys' photos!

Next project.....elderflower champgane, yummy!

Hello!

Ok, so here begins a little insight into my day to day life. I don't imagine it will be the most amazing blog but thought I would send out a little bit of my existence into the stratosphere.

I am nearly thirty (oh dear), I have a lovely husband and a baby boy who is eight months old.

Life has been pretty wonky over the last few months, but I have enjoyed every moment of it and now I have found my feet and fallen in love with motherhood, I thought I would start sharing parts of my world.
