Goosnarghgin Avis 

Our day started with Adrian foraging for botanicals, who had a wicked sense of humour but very knowledgable and very aware of the environment. Then it was back to the distillery for a light lunch of local produce. Then we learnt the history of Goosnargh gin and then with help selected dried botanicals from a vast range as well as some of the things we had foraged and made our own bottle of gin. Then we sampled our gin with a variety of mixers to find the perfect match for the unique gin that each 1 of us had produced.

I booked well in advance for a single place for a full day of foraging and gin making. It was cancelled a few days prior and I was told it was because everybody else pulled out and it was not viable. I was offered alternative dates that were not suitable. I am currently waiting for the refund to be cleared. I am not totally convinced by their excuses as an odd number may well result in an empty chair. I was looking forward to the experience and to making a bottle of gin to share with my family on Christmas day.
