As we have really glorious weather at the moment, I thought I'd share a tip with you that I collected at at the game fair last week. A really easy remedy to help soothe bites and stings.
Firstly when you next do your grocery shopping, pick up a bottle of cider apple vinegar. Then go for a walk when you get home and find a nice patch of elderflowers. Pick a large handful of the flower heads. I chose ones that were well in flower and left any that were drooping of turning in colour.
Take the bottle of cider apple vinegar and pour a little of it out, then start to push the elderflowers into the bottle. Push in as many as you can to fill your bottle almost to the top.
When completed, screw the cap back on and leave to stand. To apply just use a small piece of cotton wool or a tissue to dab the affected area with the vinegar solution.
This will keep indefinitely as it "pickles" the elderflowers.
