A 'corking' idea....well I think so.

I'm not sure that the "downside" is all that much of a downside Heron. An excellent reason to imbibe in more. Great idea. Thanks for the blog.

Oh dear, I`m not sure I could drink more than one glass of wine at Christmas! I`d better try harder so I can make my own cane toppers then.. Would a nice rose or two be ok do you think?...lol!;o))

The only drink I have is a glass of wine on Christmas day lol, so I think it will be a long time before I get my eye protector ;o)
I use other things though ....

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't drink much alcohol!

great idea Heron,not really a wine drinker myself but will get rest of the family to save corks for me..

At that rate I will never get any eye protectors...I don´t drink any form of alcohol.

I wouldn't drink it either but it's a shame to waste it after you've bought it.;-)

Heron
It seems you have attracted a very select section of GOY members
My experience of them to date is that most of them like nothing better than to sit in there gardens in the summer with there favorite tipple and there laptop.
Like the idea of the corks.not suitable for my jamie he would get the flavour and swallow them

Thanks for that Heron great idea, my daughter will have no trouble keeping me supplied with corks and it does not have to be Christmas lol.

Just told OH of the comments on here, to which he said "posh person, no screw cap bottles of wine!" ........

Oh I had forgotten screw caps ST seems I will not have as many as I had hoped then.

LOL! : o )))

I don't drink, but the bottles of wine we get for my OH all seem to have screw tops, too!

I will gladly accept all the bottles (unopened), and return the corks by return. ;o)

Oh you are such a publicly spirited person Littlelegs, so kind and thoughtful, you'd better tell your postman to pump up his tyres to cope with all the extra weight :-))))

Thanks Heron, always glad to do my part. :o))

lol so funny heron .... i thort you wud b bunging up your wine bottles with the corks aftwer making ur own . not wasteing them in the garden ..... is a gud idea , but... i only have a tipple at xmas allso haha . so no corks here either. i use upturned small plantpot ...... after i buy all my new plants haha . happy drinking ... hic.... hic.....;op

Cristina, we only have a bottle at weekends but the empties soon mount up. When our own brew is ready we'll be self sufficent for quite a while. We have to use new corks for the wine which is just as well as we can't get enough for the garden. The corks don't fall off and make it easier to press the cane into the soil.
Not sure if they also make wine but 'The Good Life' with Sue Perkins should be well worth watching. I think it's on tonight.

Same her we only have a bottle at weekends we confine our selves to a glass the rest of the week

Great idea but i dont drink hardly and the odd ones i get are all screw tops.

well ron thats 52 wine corks then lol .... oooooooooooops
the gud life will cke it out haha . they shud come here and film it lol x happy booooooooozing

i was doing a clients hair the other day .wen i noticed she had a lot of corks on her window sill .... thinking of ur blog , i asked why she had them .... thinking emm garden canes , but no no no lol . she said she gets bad cramps and puts them in her bed to stop them . some one she knew told her bt it and they both swear by it . so she gave me some to try as i get cramps too !!!! has any one herd of this b 4 ...........cud b start of something !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Heron, good idea for the canes. My solution is to put bluetack in empty snail shells and paint them with clear nail varnish. Am I mad or what? :)))

What a good idea, It's the first useful thing I've ever heard of for making use of snail shells, artistic too.

ron .... do you only read ur last comment hun !!!!!! lol x

Lol Cristina, I read your post re. the corks in bed but I worried that my fingers would find it too tempting to write something embarrising ;))

pmsl ;op cheeky!!!!!!!!!!! lol
