I am now in mid seventies. I have a very old book that was my mothers.

It was said that when people passed an elderberry tree they always took their hat off to salute it.

I also read elsewhere that it Midsummer's night the fairies danced under the elder tree.

I always make some syrup in Autumn but it is getting more and more difficult to find away from the main roads and car fumes.

Elder love to you all!
