It’s been a while coming.   We’ve been watching and waiting to start our annual ritual.

There are signs that it’s going to be a bumper harvest this year.

A bit of warm sunshine this morning brought the first elderflower blossoms out though and it was time at last for my Hero and I to gather the first bowlful.

I stood in the same place, followed the same recipe and thought the same thoughts as I have been doing for the last twelve years. 

It’s just another of those punctuation marks in our life.

Another year.  Another elderflower cordial post.
