It
is summer... That is my main excuse for not doing very much around
the house and yard recently. I have tinkered with this and that, but
not really made any major advancement. The freezer is well-stocked,
as are the pantry and wine closet, but...very little has actually
been 'done' in the way of gardening, painting, redecorating, or even
turning out/selling.
The
latter not being my fault, I may add - I do have an online garage
sale and am TRYING to dispose of unwanted items, but as yet have only
had 2 people interested in actual purchases. Maybe YOU would like to
buy something? Take a look and see...
One
of the few projects I have begun over the warm sunny months (ok, this
IS England, warm sunny WEEKS might be a better sentence) is wine
making. I originally intended to use excess apples and attempt to
make 2 wine-making jars worth of cider. The thought of having
gooseberry crumble twice+ in one week and how nice gooseberry wine
might be led me to use one of the two glass wine making jars I kept
from my father's stock in an attempt to create a batch of 'Sande's
2014 gooseberry & ginger wine' though.
I
originally had to suffice with a funnel and cotton wool stopper - as
I could NOT locate any wine-making suppliers to buy what I called a
'air-stopper thingy you put vodka in' but which I have since learned
is supposed to be called 'bung with bubbler airlock'. I am hoping to locate
and purchase a pair of such items in 2 days time from writing. For
now....
I have since succeeded in purchasing the appropriate equipment and replaced the makeshift funnel... photos in an upcoming post.
