Nothing particular day

We hadn't intended to do much today so we just went for a little wander. I was thirsty first thing and decided to have some of my elderflower cordial, so I opened a bottle and it sprayed everywhere, seems I had inadvertantly made elderflower champagne, there must have been a lot of natural yeast on the plant when I picked them..


Fizzilicious!


The place we went to was full of cherry trees and they had lots of fruit on them


But they were still green, so we'll be back in a fortnight with the picking stick!!


It has been raining a lot lately and the ground is very wet so we elevated the fire base and used our favourite birch bark


We lit the fire with a slow match of pure cotton cord soaked in a saltpeter solution


Davy cooked up some of his delicious stew



And the best part of the day, as we were going home we found a wild blackcurrant bush, not a great lot of fruit on it be we did manage about a pound, soon be jam making time!!
