sunny cowslips

Just a small remembrance of my mum who was born on this day in 1920.

I remember having family Sunday outings at cowslip time to pick enough flower heads for my grandmother to make cowslip wine. I have no idea what was the alcohol content but I quite liked it, in contrast to wine she made from say, potatoes.
Lovely tribute. And that wine sounds interesting, it must bring back fantastic memories.
