We picked the elderflower heads from the garden and brewed them over the campfire with water, sugar, lemons and citric acid. It smelt amazing and we’re looking forward to trying it in a couple of weeks.

Elderflower cordial
The hedgerows and fields are full of white blossom, and our students have been busy cooking up a tasty treat – elderflower cordial to enjoy at their end of year parties!

Blackberry picking and fire lighting
The hedgerows are full of ripe blackberries so we’ve been harvesting them and making ourselves a delicious blackberry cordial to drink with our snack when we arrive for Countryside Skills on Friday mornings!
We tried not to eat too many while we were picking them, but it was tricky!
We practiced making fires in the garden to boil our pickings on.
Flow built us a big fire in the fire circle to heat our blackberries on.
We also picked some apples to eat! Yum yum!
