Elderflower champagne 2 year old, elderberry 4 year old and last but not least carrot whiskey 9 year old, so if we drink that lot Doris we wont be able to drive anything hahahahaha.

Well Doris first of all you give a bottle to the wife and say hide this from me, and she does, then she forgets where she has put it so its a hunt the bottle time  ;D. Or in your case tell your better half  ;D to hide it hahahahah, works every time for me.

Post by: Doris_Pinks on May 16, 2004, 21:34:40
You are joking, he drinks more of it than I do :o  Did give a bottle to a mate, of elderberry, and said hold this for a year............was delish! ;D

Hi Doris, did you know that if you leave the elderberry for a year and open it when the plant is in flower the wine becomes sparkly like champagne  ;D. So when did you say you were coming up to help?  ;)  hahahahahahahaha.

Post by: Doris_Pinks on May 18, 2004, 22:43:12
When my plot is finished and ready to go! Can you wait 4 years???!!! ;D ;D ;D Must try elderflower this year, trouble is we only have 1 source of the plants, so we tend to wait for the berries cos they taste soooooooo  good :D

Doris, Just been admiring your lottie and like everyone else I am filled with awe at how you have transformed it.  You are "wonderwoman", especially as it looks a tricky plot with it being on the slope. Congratulations you should feel very proud of it.  ;D busy_lizzie

Post by: Doris_Pinks on May 20, 2004, 12:23:13
Thanks for your comments, and yes I guess I do feel proud, though all that digging hasn't changed my waistline :'(. Les, Luckily I only work 2/3 days a week, the rest of my time has been spent up the plot! Consequently, my house looks like a tip :o Haven't seen the kids under piles of laundry for weeks! ;D But the housework will always be there, the good weather wont! ;D
