Refreshments
It’s hot here and we are thirsty all the time. But, we’re fed up of plain water, juice is too sticky and I’m refusing to buy fizzy drinks.
The solution?
A big jug of homemade Still Ginger Lemonade to keep in the fridge. I like it neat over ice (but it is very sharp), the boys dilute theirs with sparkling water.
Tony and I both like it with vodka!
Here’s the recipe (can’t remember where it came from originally, sorry) from my family favourites recipe book.
Do, you see that little date stamp at the bottom?
I bought it from WHSmiths the other day and now everything gets stamped.
Maybe, I should have been a librarian!

I have told several people about your drink but have yet to try it myself. I sounds wonderful!

I need to always, always check my spelling, but I don’t, sorry. Your drink sounds wonderful.

Have to try this.
You know what, I found out only recently that I like filing papers. I rather scared myself. Maybe your fondness of stamp is like that ? An unexpected streak of archivist or registrar blood ?
