It was a one off, we just had to! From the licensing laws and the taxes of the UK to a land of make your own booze?
No question!!
What do we do with it?
Bulgarians are the most hospitipal people you could wish to meet. If you admire their flowers they pick them for you. This couses us problem when we just want to look and maybe ask for some seeds or a cutting but before you can say anything it is picked along with a few more.
Not an even number of blooms either - that is either bad luck or rude, whichever, just not done.
So a half a litre of rakia in an old water bottle is most welcome. The ladies are particularly impressed with the cherry sort. Loads of sugar and they do like that.

By this time the kazan should be in full swing. But the drought doesn't help either, or I'm sure they'd make it of something else.Grapes are doing well so I suspect all is not lost for this year.
