Elderflower prep

My SIL gave me some elderflowers from their garden as well as having a forage around the village myself .It was very pleasant gathering along with a wander at the same time and the birds were singing away . I’m following Hugh F-W’s recipe so it’s got to steep overnight but must admit it doesn’t smell too good yet ! 
In other news our Close has won the Village scarecrow competition. Woo hoo ! ( see my entry 21st May ) .
