Blackthorn blossom to Sloe Gin

Spotted Blackthorn blossom in the hedgerow today. By September there will be sloe berries on the bush ready for picking. On the right is the fruits of my labours last year - a delicious glass of sloe gin which is a fab pick-me-up after a hard day.

Ah that's so lovely. The blossoms are beautiful and the sloe gin looks delicious!

never tried it but both the flower and gin looks good

[Peter Day]

It was, thank you Ann

[Judith Johnson]

Oh how lovely. We make sloe gin too but I don't think I've ever noticed the flowers before!

Might have to take the dogs out during daylight and go a hunting blossom. What prompted the border colour?

[Ann Williams]

@hookandy About the border, just playing around really.
