My readers that have been following me for a while will know how I struggle with my skiing.

Last year my first attempt at making sloe gin went down very well.
The taste has improved with age and I love the syrupy texture of the drink.
For the past few weeks I have been out and about looking for some Sloes.
I was wondering why I could not find any, even in the places where [...]
