Red Sky At Night
















Enjoyed taking Harry through the woods near Bunkers Hill tonight as the weather seemed really mild. The Gorse bushes were abundant with coconut scented yellow flowers, if I can collect enough without stabbing myself to death I'll have a go at making Gorse wine. Just before Christmas I made Elderberry wine which was foraged from the same field. Sadly only three quarters of a bottle remain out of the six pints originally made;-(. The tannins in Elderberry wine are supposed to mellow out over time producing a far superior taste. Ah well.

  1. Great sunset Debs. You're going to have to up the wine crop next year or be stronger willed. One day we'll have a vintage (1 year old) bottle to drink... one day.

  5. Gorgeous sunset pix! I don't know what gorse is, but I'm sure it makes a fine wine. Elderberry wine sounds good, too.
