A very good day to all.
A thoroughly wet cold miserable day here in Blighty, 4C.
Thankfully we haven't had the snow that was forecast, just very cold rain.
We managed to do our Tuesday shop, which was a bonus.

Mo, hope your dryer arrived.
Mo, as regards brewing wine, you can make it hassle free.
I buy a 21 litre kit which costs about £32.
I use 2 x 10 litre brewing buckets, so that I am not lifting heavy weights , and simply divide the grape concentrate between the two.
Top up with warmish water(20C to 25C) and then add yeast.
Leave for about 2 weeks and rack off.
The bloke who runs 'Spitting Feathers' in Gidlow Lane gave me some good advice.
Instead of washing and steralising loads of bottles when you have brewed your wine, use the 5 litre plastic containers that the grape concentrate comes in, it save a load of work.
The wine keeps very well in them.

Well done to Marie.
Loads more for Mo and Vince.

Lizzie, seems you're in a much more pleasant period of weather, enjoy.
