After a busy few weeks it was time to head out to a big empty beach on Anglesey with the dogs for some chill out time. Please see the link in the bio for the rest of our blog.

After a wet cold July and August it’s September and the sun is out.​

Before she returns to Uni my daughter and I went paddle boarding at Delamere in Cheshire. The setup at Wild Shore Delamere is pretty impressive with changing rooms, water park, wake boarding and a large expanse of peaceful lake to paddle board on.

The water quality was reported as good but there was a lot of algae in the water. Which gave me the incentive for the first time not to fall in. Goal achieved an entire paddle boarding session and I did not get wet.

More importantly I got some quality time with my daughter before she disappears back to Uni.​

After a stressful week at work now feeling chilled out.​

So whilst the rest of the northern hemisphere swelters in heatwaves in northern England its not stopped raining through July and into August. It’s more like the back end of autumn going into winter.

On the plus side the blackberry bushes are loving it and blackberry’s are already ready to harvest. So one morning whilst out with my dogs I went foraging and came home with a bag of lovely tangy blackberries. Not having any cheap whisky or vodka around to use them with, they went straight into the freezer until I could decide how to use them.

After a few days I came across a recipe for Blackberry Mead. Having already got a couple of jars of honey and demijohns sat around doing nothing I thought lets give it a go.
