The recovery of a garden from neglect
as I looked after my wife, Glen, 'Pippy',
in her terminal illness.
The garden was her
refuge and her love.
As she was mine.

The Bubble Twins
Put the rhubarb wine into demijohns on Monday, after six days starting in the brewing bucket. Now they sit on the kitchen sideboard, having their little bubbly conversation.
I understand I killed the delicate pink colour with campden tablets, which are used to sterilise the 'must' before starting the fermentation with winemaker's yeast.
Early tasting notes: yeasty, sweet, fizzy, boozy and acid.
How long till it's drinkable?
