The fight back continues...

We are continuing to remove a month's worth of growth of grass, flowers and mainly weeds. Kate has done wonders in the borders and I have struggled with the grass. It is now all mown down and after some more sunshine I will collect it all up. 

Here are some flowers which are more interesting than grass......

And what is even more interesting than flowers? Alcohol. Last year I made some apple wine using a recipe off the Internet. It was very basic and didn't do fancy stuff like Camden tablets and sterilisation. I was not hopeful but I bottled it up and put it in the garage for the required six months. I have just opened the first bottle. It is a very nice sparkling white wine! I didn't expect fizz and I did expect the aroma of pea pod. But even Kate is drinking it, albeit diluted as she is not sure how alcoholic it is. Nor am I.
