Elderberry flowers are everywhere at the moment - around here at least, and Jeeves decided having tasted some of Aunt Agatha's, to make some elderberry cordial. This required much picking of flowers and a lot of preparation.
The result is so good however, that a new batch as soon as more elderflowers are obtained. I must say that I certainly like the stuff as well; but can't wait to get my hands on my brewing equipment and batch up some elderberry wine. And a few other wine type things like mead and barley wine.
Been quite a sociable week this last one, even if we haven't done any cruising. Friday night was an evening spent on Nerus with Neil and Ruth who plied us with red wine and then mercifully with coffee - rather a late one that, but very enjoyable!
Neil and Ruth were here again today attaching the very attractive signwriting from Cut 
Signs (seems to be a month for this activity) - the thing is that I didn't hear one rude word from the East end of the pontoon, which I think either indicates that I am deaf, or Neil is a very patient chap. In fact here is a belated picture of me stealing K2 from our pontoon. Well not really, after all, Cap'n Steve is clearly visible on the gunwhale - one can see that he is very carefull not to scratch the new work!
