    Buy a couple of cases of wine. It shouldn't take more than a fortnight to empty them. Problem solved.

    When does a heatwave/ drought stop being referred to as "good weather" ?

    I think it's lovely, but I'd not call it a "heatwave", not down here anyway.

    Today's gripe is that although there's a bumper crop of elder flowers this year, I have no bottles so can't make any cordial...
    You can buy empty wine bottles online ... but .., why would you when you can buy full ones?🤪

    Put a request on Freecycle or Nextdoor.com

    Thanks for the tips... unfortunately we don't drink... except elderflower cordial.  But empty bottles on line are possible.   :)

    A fortnight to empty a couple of dozen bottles!?  You really aren't trying hard enough. :D

    I've got a load of swing top 'wine' bottles I need to get rid of as well :|  Maybe you just need to get creative and use old milk bottle or jam jars instead?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
