Beautifully written, actually I was painting your words in my mind. That rarely happens. It would be a dream of mine to taste some of your recipes as none of them could I make. No wood burner, no hedge groves, no rose hips and definitely no cider making equipment. I will just have to savour what you write. ✍️
My crab apples are a couple of years away from fruiting, but I might try the fermented blackberries with raspberries, which are looking promising as they start to push out new canes.

Thank you. I’m happy it resonated with you.
Perfect timing, I’ve just got some more crab apples today . Will the jelly bag get rid of the irritating hairs in the rosehips William?
Yes exactly. I sometimes clean them all out but life is too short. A good jelly bag will take away all of the rubbish.
Brilliant. Such humble thoughtful description, feel as though walking beside you, scratchy thickets brushing pantlegs. Welcome Autumn. Thank you, William. So glad you're alive, fermenting.
Love the label advice, I think we may be soul friends.

Lovely, as always, lovely.
Thank you for this glimpse of living with the rhythm of the land.
