Very enjoyable read once again guys, thank you. Living abroad and being a big fan of sloe gin we have adapted the recipe using our local berries - a wild cherry called shimaruku and a small seedy fruit called ronde birimbi and can happily report that both make wonderful liqueur and are delicious too! We shall raise a thimble full to you both over Christmas! Best wishes and look forward to your next instalment in the new year.

Happy Christmas to you! Another lovely article, the burnt cloves made me laugh and the thought of the indignant sheep staring wistfully at the delicious whips! Your cocktail or a nip of sloe wine will go well with delicious Christmas cake! Enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you again next year xx

Merry Christmas, Lovelies! Thank you so much for another wonderful read - a much needed tonic for soul as excitement is already reaching stratospheric levels amongst the small people in our corner of Cambridgeshire 😂

When I was reading your delicious sounding Christmas cake recipe (I haven’t made one. Thinking this was an error I need to rectify... Once I’ve put oranges and cloves on the woodburner... Ralph’s going to take one look at this development, nod towards it and just say ‘Tom and Kathy?’ 😂) and I noticed your inclusion of frozen eggs. I’m lucky that some new hens this spring means we’re still getting a steady trickle of eggs but I did waterglass some earlier this year just in case and I was wondering whether you have a preference for frozen over waterglassed and if so, why? I’ve never frozen eggs (whisked egg size Tupperware sounds cute! 😂) and I’m wondering if I should next year!
