It took me about 20 minutes to get the solution ready.  I added the flowers and left the solution rest in the fermentation bucket I was using that I normally use to make wine.  Every twelve hours I lifted the lid and the smell emanating from this lovely liquid was sensational.

Once the 72 hours elapsed I proceeded to sterilize some bottles that I had collected with lift off metal tops by putting them in the oven at 150 degrees celcius.

I siphoned off the delicious liquid and had my first sample using it in the proportion of 11 to 1 with carbonated water as a treat.  It was as delicious as it looked.  Not only that I took the two crushed up lemons and two crushed up oranges used in the making of the Elderflower Cordial and transferred them to a pot and proceeded to make lemon and orange marmalade using half a pint of the newly made Elderflower Cordial.  The marmalade tasted really special with the addition of the Elderflower Cordial.  Nothing but natures best in my kitchen.

Here is a close-up of the flower.

Here is a picture of the whole bush. It is still only about 3ft high.

I used some of my French Provencal fabric for this one.  I ran short of the yellow fabric so I had to improvise and use blue in some places where yellow should have been.  I am pleased with the result and it the mystery was fun to do.

I will try and do some more research on this particular riot.  Since then there seems to have been a very long quiet period with a few protests but does not seem to have been any more riots.

Robin Hood Riot of 1847

I have just logged onto Jersey Tide Times and my Coastline posts are on it. I sightly remember an email i had a little while ago from Jersey Tourism asking if i minded them using my post and yes thats fine and forgot all about it, so cannot be all bad.

Brilliant No Knead Bread recipe from www.5min.com
