After a run of sunny days last week, it was time to make elderflower cordial. Harvesting the flower heads in the morning works best, when the scent is strongest and sweetest: and the cordial starts to smell wonderful almost as soon as it's mixed. On Monday, we'll bottle it up and freeze it: and then next weekend (hopefully), I'll start some elderflower wine.
I've also added a few more planks to the compost bay, which was starting to over-fill with lawn clippings and kitchen waste. Its capacity is probably about 60% greater now, so it should keep going for a bit. As before, I used pallet planks, which seem ideal.
