Share it with your friends and family and watch their faces light up inthe afternoon sun.

So i shall try the gooseberry gin and it should be a welcome addition to next summer!There has been no summer so far this year in England. May, June and so far in July has been the wettest time since records were started over a hundred years ago. In fact it is raining right now as though it hasn’t rained for a month — simply tippling it down. Use a basic, cheap gin. The gooseberries will do the flavouring work, with the gin acting as a flavour carrier. If you have made ‘clean’ gooseberry gin - without any added sugar - then you’ll probably want to pair your homemade tipple with a mixer; we love an elderflower tonic water, as the delicate sweetness really complements the tart flavour of the gooseberries.

It’s easy to miss an occasional berry and this one bush has self seeded – the progeny are two hefty children and just this year I spotted a new baby.If you haven’t noticed how Gin mad the world has gone then you need to unbury your head from the sand.
