Knocked off work a couple of hours early today. After last year's apple collecting I've got 3 or 4 nice locations with a good number of cider apple trees. One of these is a new one this year from a farmer local to me who found out I make cider and told me I can have as much as I want from his orchard. We nearly fell out in the pub as I wanted to buy him a pint to say thanks but he wanted to buy me a pint as I was doing him a favour!!!
I only had a couple of hours this afternoon. It was hard work on hands and knees digging out a lot of fallers in very deep grass. But ended up with this lot...
Will do some more in this orchard and another location on Sunday. Got two mates lined up for a press week on Sunday where I will pay them in as much of the 60 litres I have left from last year as they can drink while we are working!
