I do! I too was told about the resident, as well as that it's bad luck to only have one specimen...you've never seen anyone grab a pair of secateurs so fast! I have a pair within cooee of each other and only hope those living there get along! Love your Cornish accent! X
Such a wonderful read. I first tried elderflower cordial in the UK 33 years ago and adore it. So excited once it was available in Australia. Loved the jam story and your father 💞
I do hope you asked “her what lives in t’ tree” (read that bit in a Cornish accent, please) for permission to pick the elderberries…I was taught that each elder has a resident witch, generally happy to share but only if permission is asked!
When you're back, come and have a glass of elderflower cordial Elizabeth :))) X
