LOL, Hi folks. Thanks for all your support. Nice to see Madmax has been online more while I was offline. He might end up as hooked as the rest of us!!

Seahorse, thank you so much for your texts. Thanks to everyone else who sms'd me too. You are a wonderful lot.

Now, that sounds enough like an Oscar speech - off to catch up on hundreds of threads now

Morning folks, nice to know I am missed, the only time that happens at home is when someone needs clean socks

How's the celery wind going Hazel?

I am hoping that is a typo, Shirley!

Celery Wine ready for bottling - tho' a shortage of nice clear bottles means that I might rack it off in the next couple of days then stick it back in the dj until I've scavenged some!

How's the rhubarb and strawberry going (gone?) down?

Oops, someone has spotted that the letters have all worn of the keyboard (and I wasn't watching what I was typing)

The rhubarb and strawberry will have to be done again in larger quantities!! I got 2 bottles from it, one has been muchly enjoyed, the other might just go along with Easter dinner. It was red to look at but nicer served cold - drinking wise, you can really taste the strawbs, lovely and light and dry like a rose.

Have you tasted the celery yet? It looks good - well done again!

Welcome back ya old Gti! Missed you we did.

Now, about this celery wind, can I suggest you don't put a cork in it.
