The Elderberry Trees have  grown amongst the rubble of more than 12000 earthquakes we have experienced over the past two years.  Nature always bats last and  her bounty is all around.

The Elderflowers are blooming and I have captured their perfumed sunshine in a bottle.  Elderflower Syrup is such a delicious treat and full of healthgiving properties.   I have left many flowerheads on the tree for the autumn harvest of ruby rich berries when we will make Elderberry Jelly.
