I once found a letter someone had written in a changing room on a beach in Vancouver.
It was from a man to a woman he had met on the beach where they would walk their dogs together.
I think she was moving away as the letter said how he'd fallen in love with her over the last year and was going to miss her, but was too shy to tell her in person.
He'd even left a dog biscuit for her pup.
I still feel guilty about reading it(put it back where I found it though) but awwwwww man I hope those guys got it together.

Still going through the stuff we made last year. It lasts surprisingly well.

I save time by simply drinking cough medicine

Do you strain out the sloes before leaving it for a year
I have read that if you leave them in for more than 6 months it can go bitter.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:29, Reply)

Yep took the sloes out after about 3 months.
Also remember to pierce each sloe - helps get the most flavour out of them.

Where did you get the sloe berries from ?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

a sloe bush next to a site I was looking at.

(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

Good stuff

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:20, Reply)

I thought so
I was worried I might be too late as the other places I'd seen sloes had all been picked clean.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:22, Reply)

I'm not sure there are any near me
:-(

I may have to purchase the Gordon's one

It's damned good stuff
though I'm sure some purists would disagree.

I shall investigate some bushes whilst taking the dog out in the morning

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:35, Reply)

I used all of the gin on Friday making English Mojitos.

( wanderlust, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:18, Reply)

This sounds good
Tell me more please
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:18, Reply)

Muddle limes, mint, brown sugar and cucumber.
Add 50ml of gin, Hendricks is best for the cucumbery flavour. Shake with ice then strain over crushed ice. Top up with soda water if you desire.

What confusion techniques do you use

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:24, Reply)

Say "Ohhhhh what's that over there?"
Then nick a chip when they're looking the other way.

Did I mention I'm making sloe gin?
When are we going to come to your place of work and eat some of that food?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:19, Reply)

I love sloe gin.
I got to try the sipsmith's one when I went for the tour there. It is amazing.

I want you to come and see me, book a table upstairs and I can look after you.
( wanderlust, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:25, Reply)

Okay. I will do this
but it might have to slip until January as I'm pretty skint right now.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 16:30, Reply)

This is good for me too.
Or if you like I can book us a table at one of the other venues and we'll get looked after proper. I can use my cool kid discount too.

Sorry about Friday.
We will reschedule and bust this town up.
