Next Brew - Sage & Ginger!


"What?!" I hear you say, "a sage and ginger beer!". Yes, it's going to be a herbal beer this time. We'll see how it turns out, hopefully it will be delicious (Heidi says if the beer turns out to be drinkable she will eat her own wedding dress!).

It's bubbling away ferociously in the kitchen, I just hope it does not explode! I've wrapped it with blanket just incase it does.

Wedding plans so far. Heidi manage to do a rough sketch of the wedding invites and had her friend Gabriella do some more creative work on it. Hopefully we can get the design sorted and printed by the end of this week (fingers crossed).

We have been working on the allotment today, planted the bulbs, daffodils and tulips, we hope they will flower and also be ready for our wedding day. There is a chance they might flower early or later dependant on the weather.

Halloween

Heidi and I celebrated Halloween/Samhain, we bobbed for apples in a bucket. Since I had juicy pear, I had a great idea 'bobbing for pears'. Unfortunately the pear sunk into the bottom of the bucket and I wasn't going to bob for it, as you can see from the pictures!



Here are some pictures of our success.

Bob Brewing

Well...the first batch of summer ale is done, I've sampled a few and it is delicious. I've managed to download some pictures of me messing up the kitchen and here it is! :-)
