I must be getting old. I’ve spent the best part of this month collecting, making, eating, and drinking anything and everything Elderflower.

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget.

So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
