You got me all dewey eyed and remembering chickens and fields and autumn hedgerows and clean air. And giving things names. <br /><br />And I'm dead jealous of yr old recipe book. ;-)heathcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829195014991304506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26298373.post-42290098604527376652011-09-20T12:46:43.125+01:002011-09-20T12:46:43.125+01:00Hi Heathcliffe, My blog is rather homespun for pu...Hi Heathcliffe, My blog is rather homespun for public consumption (it is intended for my younger son who is working in Shanghai) however you are welcome to have a look: applebeesatpeartree.blogspot.com <br /><br />We'll certainly try the fenugreek.

I'm kinda new to this whole 'writing for Rachel' thing, so feeling kinda heartened now. :-)<br /><br />Good luck with the cordial making. And seriously, do try fenugreek for colds. It makes a great tea, and - as with elderberries - the science stacks up. <br /><br />Just been chatting to Rach, and she says she loves yr blog. Any chance you can post a URL? <br /><br />Cozinheiro? If you can't get elderberries, try Sambucol (you can get it from pharmacies... it's a standardised extract), or try star anise. Apparently, it's also good for flu. :-)heathcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829195014991304506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26298373.post-21963348719079210642011-09-19T11:54:47.418+01:002011-09-19T11:54:47.418+01:00Actually I have had massive problems finding elder...Actually I have had massive problems finding elderberries this year, no idea why either.

We make elderberry rob each year. The only problem this year is a lack of elderberries. Eventually managed to find enough to make just under a litre of rob, thank goodness.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26298373.post-49389972855603586362011-09-13T17:16:02.977+01:002011-09-13T17:16:02.977+01:00Oh for elderberries, and yes we have no elderberri...Oh for elderberries, and yes we have no elderberries in Portugal, and I have got my seasonal September sore throat and sniffles.
