I have news for you: our Autumn is the time to gather up the golden bounty of our lives. To make preserves from the succulent energy of childhood, the exuberant tang of youth, the sturdy growth of adulthood and the fruitful maturity of middle age. To pare away what is spoiled. To meld the memories of sweet joys with those of bitter heartaches so there is balance in our remembering.
Wonderful ! One can never have enough bramble whiskey or sloe gin either.. x
Have in the past enjoyed the sloe gin, the marmalade and some wonderful jams and condiments. Thank you x
I love the sustained imagery in this and the words are rich and tangy.
