Take the damses and drain them well. Toss them with powered sugar until they stop getting damp spots on them coat with tempered chocolate. That's to your taste then let them sit for a few months! The alcohol will break down the sugar and turn it into an alcohol syrup! Yum!

Julie, I found it interesting you mentioned princess diana because I had a crigenetics test done & found out I am related to her! It was through the great, great, great grandmothers. Theodore Forbes married Eliza Newark/Kework/Kevork & she was armenian & indian, bengali, punjabi & gujerati. Theodore Forbes was enroute back to Scotland, his hometown w/his two children Katherine who was 8 years old & Alexander who was six years old. He died on the ship & was buried at sea. His children were taken to his family & Katherine stayed there, but Alexander was so homesick that they sent him back to his mother in India. The name of the ship was the Blenden Hall. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it!

Interesting introduction of the question of alcohol consumption. I tell people now that I stopped alcoholic consumption when it stopped doing for me what it did years ago. It keeps people guessing what was the absolute reason for the stoppage. They may take a leap and ask if the reason was that I may be an alcoholic? As I tell people, you can ask any question but that dos not mean I have to answer. I feel that if a person has respect for you and they do ask a sensitive question I explain to them if there are any extenuating circumstances that might upset me. Personally, very little in friendship would upset me but it might be interesting to learn. In my younger days my alcohol was a de-stressing mechanism that I could afford and enjoy. Not now on both counts. I hope Luck has similar reason rather than deathly of little choice.

Julie brought the damson Gin through the door from the larder - which is a large cool room that first originated in midievil times (which aligns with the date the original part of Mapperton estate was built). Larders were specifically made to enable extended storage of food/epicurean delights - and were quite fashionable - especially in England, up through the 1940's. They're still in use in many historical European homes today. (Julie actually calls it a larder at 1:35). Hope that helps.

Hi Julie, I love your spirit and have been watching this right from the beginning. Way back from when you used to appear on the Real Housewives series and wanted to a business idea for Mapperton. loved your tuscany series. But lately, have found you do a couple of things which is very dissonant. Not often, but sometimes. You either talk over Luke, brush him off or make some kind of comment which is dissonant. It makes for uncomfortable viewing. It isn't the famous understated British humor. Perhaps it is because you and Luke are so comfortable together, that you both dont realize how it comes across. Again, dont know whether this is scripted and how the videos are supposed to be. Apologies if that is the case. But sometimes, I would like to hear what Luke is saying. In the gin episode for example, I was fascinated and curious about the people he was counting off who would get a gin bottle, when you were talking about your plans for renovating the old milk shed or a couple of other episodes. Love the series and do not miss a single episode.
