How do you know if you are going to die? I begged my mother. We had been traveling for days. With strange confidence she answered,. When you can no longer make a fist. Years later I smile to think of that journey,. The borders we must cross separately,. Stamped with our unanswerable woes. I who did not die, who am still living,. Still lying in the backseat behind all my questions,. Clenching and opening one small hand. With faint dry sound,. Like steps of passing ghosts,.

Sunday, November 9, 2008. My Ginger Wine is a warmimg, non-alcoholic drink made from natural ingredients. It is based on a traditional Northern recipe given to me by my Grandma who came from Barra in the Outer Hebrides, made from juice extracted from the rhizome of the ginger root and with added spices and rich flavours. Served either hot or cold and either with or without alcohol, my Ginger wine is good for circulation, digestion, travel sickness and general well-being. To email me for more details.
