Whoops! Pink Champagne Everywhere!!

We've been playing with fire and we knew it... today we had our first casualty of the lively pink stuff, one bottle finally slipped its leash!! Yup, popped its cork of its own accord, all over the kitchen. Another of its buddies was straining at the wire so we decided to let it go too, Guy uncorking and me with jug at the ready. An operation that we've had down pat the last few times and barely spilled a drop. I'm not quite sure what happened this time but a second later and Guy and I, and the walls, ceiling, floor etc, were dripping in sticky sweet elderflower. Whoops!!

The ferocity of the bang was quite amazing and as a result we decided not to take any chances - the remaining 3 bottles were marched out to the garden for their uncorking ceremony! 

Off to finish mopping the walls down now!! Next time less sugar for the same effect... and we'll be sticking to the scew top lemonade bottles which are much easier to manage. Champagne corks might look cool but they're scary man!
