Growing food is important.
Here at Bealtaine Cottage there is another bumper crop of Blackcurrants, Rhubarb, Apples, Pears and Plums growing.
Preserving and using fruit is a challenge when the crops are this abundant!
Making wine is one of the delights of summer, allowing fruit to be preserved in a unique and tasteful way…wine!
There will be a day long wine making and fruit growing workshop at Bealtaine Cottage on Saturday, the 29th of June.
A Vegetarian lunch will be provided, as will morning and afternoon tea/coffee and home made cakes.
If you would like to book a place, please email Colette on:

Thank you so much for your recent blogs and videos. Its truly amazing how the momentum towards finding, spreading and standing up for the SIMPLE TRUTH is becoming clearer and clearer. You have done this for years, but don’t you feel that more and more people are finally at the point where they will no longer accept what “society” tells them is true. I think that your example of nurturing and acknowledging the power of nature on your 3 acres,has lead many others such as myself to take small steps to try and do this in our own lives. The Truth really creeps up on you until you can no longer accept the lies. I signed your petition and no matter what the. EU decides or the US government tries to do to govern Nature, there are growing numbers of . “simple” people who will not comply.
Have you heard of Helen and Scott Nearing? They homesteaded starting in 1932 in Vermont and Maine. They were amazing people who remind me of you.
Thank you Sharleen, and thank you for supporting Bealtaine Cottage as you have done so generously.
Those two words you use resonate with all of humankind…simple and truth! For the truth is simple and one does not have to remember spoken words of truth, for they remain inviolable and constant.
I shall research Helen and Scott Nearing, for they sound interesting…
Governments and laws only frighten the guilty, for those who live the truth have nothing to fear!

Colette, wish I could attend but I will have family visiting from Wales at that time. I have always wanted to try winemaking , can you recommend a good book on the basics.
I have an ancient book called Country Wines…probably out of print! Have a look on Amazon or ebay…Gosh, I’m stuck! Anyone on my blog recommend one?
Thanks Colette, found a book called Counyry Wines by Pattii Vargas on Amazon and have ordered it…….Cheers !!!! Eileen
Colette,
How wonderful, I wish I could be there. Maybe next year I can manage a trip. What a wonderful day it will be for all.
My best to you
Thanks Carole! It’s a lot of work and preparation, but jolly good fun too!

I am really sorry that I cannot be there, perhaps you could video some of the lessons? I have today picked some rhubarb for us and mum and dad. I cannot believe the price they charge for rhubarb in the supermarkets xxx
Unfortunately I cannot video any of the workshops…I just don’t have the facilities. The price of food is going up weekly!
