And then the sun came out.

Check the weather forecast. Sunny, 19°C, no rain ! Well, thank you !  It is about time.
Over the last week or so the only thing I wanted to do was curl up on the sofa with a blanket pulled over myself (head included)

Today, I could get the cushions of the outdoor lounge out. Hauling them all the way from the garage downstairs, up and out.

I know that tonight I'll have to take the cushions in again....

That the cats will all come indoors, again ....

And I will disappear under my blanket on the sofa..... again.

But for now... all is well.

It's that time of year again. Elderflowers.

Rather unashamedly I link you to this recipe on my own blog  for elderflower champagne . I just cannot believe that the post is from May, 2007 and that I haven't made it since then. 
Well we are lucky to have elder near us which is clean enough to use, so I have flowers 'soaking' at this moment.
It's a must try for anyone who can get to elderflowers. 

Hiccup !
