We used to brew our homemade wine Always succeeded, all went fine We made it from apples, cherries and such Three barrels each time, yes...rather much Once there were gooseberries, quite a lot We cooked them in a very big pot And then we had to swirl them around Tucked in a pillow slip, an old one we found For swirling we used a spin-dryer you know The juice came out in a constant flow But then it started to rain real hard The bathroom I used for the next swirling part Suddenly a bang and the hell broke loose All over the walls was dripping the juice On the ceiling, in thoothbrushes and the loo The slip had collapsed and the spin-dryer lit too But not only juice was splashing around All the fruits too on the ceiling I found It took me almost a week to clean It was a mess as you never have seen That year we made no gooseberry wine And I decided to draw a line Not ever again we spin-dryed inside At least not with fruits stuck in pillow slips tight Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

I am laughing so hard I nearly spilled my wine! Though it isn't gooseberry. Titia, this is priceless! May I print this out and put in on my wall? |

Be my guest Midnitesun. Somewhere I must have a photograph, made after the splash, couldn't find it at the moment, but I guess your imagination can draw a perfect picture. Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

All you have to do is book a flight Marge. You're welcome any time, but the guesthouse still looks like it got a visit from either Charley or Frances. It has walls, a roof and windows, but nothing more really. Truly hope Ivan won't hit you my friend. Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |
