This was a fabulous bottle of elderberry wine. It was as smooth and rounded as I have ever had, with the rich earthy tones that elderberry does best. I had spent the afternoon picking elderberries and then stripping them from their stalks, so the evening's bottle was always going to be this flavour. We drank it to a chicken and prune casserole, which was also delicious, and started planning our trip to Newcastle next weekend - to be taken before Leeds goes into a localised lockdown.

With this post, I have caught up entirely on my diary since the winter hiatus. Therefore, I am unlikely to be posting daily from now on.
I spent today making elderberry wine, my first attempt at home brewing in quite a few years. It inspired me to re read your book which I enjoyed even more than the first time I read it.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the the blog web address on page 6 and was delighted to see it was still active.
Thank you very much! Do you have one of the rare unsigned copies?
DeleteI did take a break from the blog at the end of last year for a few months but have caught up again.
Best of luck with the elderberry wine. Mine is freshly in its demijohns and will be blogged about in the next few days.
