Quite possibly two of the loveliest words in the English language!  Like distilled summer.   Elderflowers are in full swing in hedgerows and paddocks all over the country – seems to be a great year for them.  Some see this plant as a weed but it is fully medicinal and such an asset. Bubbly or cordial from the flowers, cordials from the fruit. Good reason for us to  leave the hedgerows alone to provide food for human, animal and insect foraging.
