Racked the elederbarry cordial wine this evening and managed to sneek a quick sip.. very promising, for something that's been on the go for just four weeks I can honestly say that I've paid for supermarket wines not as nice as this :thumbright:

.. but it's going back under the stairs until at least autumn..

In the UK, simply planning for a barbecue usually does the trick. If it fails (rare) then you have to go to all the trouble of putting on two weeks of tennis at Wimbledon. That one never fails, but it's a tad expensive. Less reliable, but pretty effective nevertheless, is hanging out some washing to dry.

Tried laundry on line, tried washing the car...nothing. I'm just about ready to pull out the heavy artillery and invite a bunch of friends over for that barbecue!
