No, we’re not cele-brating moving in… yet! But we couldn’t help trying one of the bottles of elderflower champagne we made at the end of last month. It just didn’t seem to be fermenting, both when it was made and after yeast was added (which is not always necessary – elderflowers have their own natural yeast). Anyway, we popped a cork and it was fine – not exactly a glass of bubbly but a little fizzy nevertheless,  and it tasted nice!

So the remaining 5 bottles will now be kept – for a time when we really do have something to celebrate.
