It is still dank and chill...friends in Devon had a lovely sunny day!!
Indoors jobs today....sorting shoes and boots, mainly Pirate's.
Our Friend in France may need some...his feet are the same size as Pirate's!!
Some fit me..with an added innersole...the difference between 42 and 43!
A nice pair of winter cycling boots... unfortunately the country and western style half boots have a hole, with the upper coming away from the sole.
If anyone can mend it it will be our regular cobbler in Ayr...but I'm not holding out too much hope.
Most are too big for me..or I wouldn't wear them, like the Ghillie Brogues....made to go with a kilt...the kilt, socks and jacket went to a friend...but his feet were too small for these
Not much else done today apart from bottling and processing 7 bottles of pear and apple juice, and bottling 5 bottles ( the small flat flask shaped bottles that had maple syrup in them ) of sloe vodka.
The latter had been sitting on the fruit for two years....it is quite potent!!
So its do my lessons and have an early-ish night...

...I hope that a sunny day comes your way.
Sloe vodka sounds interesting. A Christmas tipple maybe?
That's reminded me. I have some home made sloe gin sitting in the back of my cupboard. It will have matured very well by now!
My father always wore brogues when wearing a suit.
You are always so busy - makes me feel tired just reading it.
Those Ghillie Brogues are super cool! I see them on "flea-bay"--could you sell them? Or sentimental value precludes?
It is busy in short bursts, Susan.
Rabbit in headlights ( or possum?) in between
There are some on fleabay in the USA at the moment..postage from here would be horrendous! Thistle is the make, and they are £130 new. These haven't been worn much...and I will be selling them. Better to see them used.
Sloe vodka! Interesting. Weaver of Grass used to make blackberry whisky, didn't she? Or something like that.
