Wow, how to thank the amazing posts from Brian on all things William, Catherine and that fabulous ceremony.
Wills and Kate (let's go ahead and keep calling 'em that) are now back to normal (meaning they live royally and we don't) and she has that ring.
I have to say this missive from Brian in Bath, is my absolute favorite. The subject line said it could be his last missive of the day. Guess what? It was and I don't blame him a bit.
Man, it sounded like they were having a total blast!
Read on and see what I'm talking about, but what in hell is sloes?
Oh, the invitation he extends later on in the post? For us...NOT YOU!
Cheers...

Wine - sparkling or home made?
Well, we've just got back home after celebrating the wedding with the family - our family that is!
We drank sparkling wine and now we are back at home, tasting my home made wine that I made last year.
I have over 30 gallons (possibly some 200 bottles of wine) made from Apples, Plums, Grapes, Medlars, Quince and Sloes.
So far I have bottled some of this wine - I can tell you (and others agree) that it tastes excellent (but a bit on the sweet side, making it taste like sherry).
I have tested the alcohol content and it is circa 15% strength (like a sherry or martini). So, we drink it at home.
I will keep some to one side for when you visit us!!

Now the Big Day is over - Let it rain; sister!
We have had little or no rain for some time, so we have been watering our garden - Mo does the flowers and I do the vegetables and fruit.
I might strike forth on gardening in the near future - any interest?
Busy bees like our good weather.
My bees have been working overtime the last few weeks - the good weather and sunshine makes then very active.
Yesterday I inspected my hive - that means I donned my protective clothing (you've seem Mo's pictures) and opened up the hive to have a good look around.
Plenty of honey is being stored - and it tastes mmmmmm.
More about bees in the future.
Croquet.
Mo and I have started to play Croquet - so we look our best dressed all in white
Once I get a chance I will wax lyrical on croquet.
Love to all - remind folks to get in touch via your site.
Brian and Mo
