SLOE GIN AND BEESWAX

TO CELEBRATE THE WINTER SOLSTICE!
It is hard to believe with the freezing weather we have just now that we have turned a corner and the days will now get longer! 

 This year like most years we made SLOE GIN.Tonight we removed the sloes from the gin and poured a glass or two to celebrate MIDWINTER.

Here the candle is placed behind the sloe gin bottle so you can get a hint of the glorious colour!
You will have to take my word for the taste..........also GLORIOUS!!
That spiky onion head decorating the pic grew in my garden!!............ALIUM SCHUBERTII.....a reminder of warmer days gone by and yet to come.
