APPROACHING AUTUMN AND TIME TO SPEND IN OUR ALLOTMENTS AND GARDENS

Time for clearing up the allotment and collecting some of the wonderful produce that's available.  Now what to do with the glut? One idea is to think about making wine or cordials from your fruit and even veggies.  That's how I started making prize-winning exhibits for the Brentwood Winemakers' Club, now sadly defunct, but a hobby that I still  enjoy when I have time. Fortunately, some of my family are also keen on growing their own produce, so I'm lucky to be given fresh fruit and vegetables to pop into the fermenting bin.
