It seems my previous very simple password has now expired. It have had to change it yet again. I have not posted long ago. All my perennials need the rain. I have been going out at 6am with the hose.
@Iamweedy - re posting a photo: are you clicking on the rectangular box above the text in your post? If you hover over it, it says "Attach image". It tells you to choose a file; if I click on that bit, all the photos in my downloads appear, and I can select the one I want... hope it works for you...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
i have only been drinking tea. As it happens I had a choice between making Damson Jam or damson gin this morning. The damson Gin won out when i looked at my stash. It takes three months before Christmas to get that matured. It seems we have a lot of damson hedges here and there are a lot to give away. All last years now.
This reminds me I need to buy some cheap Famous Grouse while it's on sale in the run up to fathers' day ready for making bramble whisky later in the year. Actually I am a father so I might as well just ask for some for fathers' day...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
You can buy orange marmalade containing whisky, @B3 - not sure if the alcohol is boiled off, or if you add the whisky at the end, though...
I had a jar of home-made jam which went alcoholic because it was left out of the fridge and didn't get eaten fast enough. It didn't smell appetising...

Damson gin jam. Make damson jam really thick. Make damson gin. Add gin after jam has cooled? It might work but I suppose the jam might be a bit runny. Who knows? I've never made jam or damson gin.
