. He would then shake it every week for a couple of months before he would drink it. The quantities below me took from a recipe book 450g/1lb sloes 225g/8oz caster sugar 1 litre/1¾ pint gin The gin turns a lovely dark red colour . Apparently you can make a drink using vodka instead of gin. Sloes also make a lovely jelly to serve with roast meats recipe at http://www.cottagesmallholder.com looks good. However the blackthorn may not be suitable for your garden as it is very thorny and spiky. As such it is a good defender hedge and makes a good barrier. Blackthorn is usually found in the countryside as hedging. Blackthorn makes a good thick hedge you could use it amongst other hedge bushes or a make a hedge purely of blackthorn. You would need about 3 bushes to a meter of hedge. Blackthorn likes a sunny position and is not too ...

Review of Blackthorn

Loving the Ire and the Songs

Advantages: It's great music more or less throughout
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker moments

Having heard Frank Turner's "The First Three Years", an album which reflected on his first few years work as a solo artist after leaving Million Dead, there was no way I couldn't listen to more of his music. After all, the genre he works in, mainly folk based but with frequent rock twists, was one I enjoy listening to and my first experience with his work proved that he was very adept within that field.

The fact that this song is me and my boyfriend's 'song' does not make me biased, ok?! Another Blue song. I like this more than You Make Me Wanna. The Blue boys are genuinely talented, I reckon, and they're wasted on some of the songs they sing. I just love this song, it's one of my favourites to mope about to! Very soft and romantic, but I admit, it does get a bit ...
