deckchairs hammocks...

...and elderflowers

after a lovely day lazing in the summer sunshine

i made elderflower cordial

making use of the last

elderflowers on the trees

capturing the sweet essence of summer

elderflowers have the most delicate fragrance

 i will freeze some for the winter

elderflower cordial is the best stuff 

to beat the winter chills

***

meanwhile our lovely chickens

do their thing

happily around the garden

only one broody at the mo 

so we have 5 eggs a day

fantastic for all my cake baking
but first...

i can hear my deckchair calling me
or maybe...

the hammock

must make the most of this wonderful sunshine
