The children have now finished school and my daughter and I spent a happy afternoon yesterday bottling the Sloe Gin and Plum Brandy we have been lovingly nurturing since picking the fruit in the Autumn.

At the time it seemed such a long time until Christmas but all of a sudden it is almost with us.

Of course Rod and I had to try them both out, and we still have the Blackberry Vodka to bottle so all set for a very merry Christmas…..
