Yesterday was Apple Day, a day to celebrate the harvest of
our orchards. I was at Headless Cross Green, running a stall to promote our
beer club and to join in the day itself. It was great weather; and I got to
invite a lot of people to come inside our gazebo and taste and talk about beer.
There was food for sale including giant pumpkins; local honey; and of course,
apples. There were apples to press; paintings to observe and a human fruit
machine; which consisted of three blokes drawing fruit out of a bucket all day
long. One guy even made a moustache out of a banana. It was a great atmosphere;
and the only frowney face I saw was when a little lad’s balloon went pop. Then
after packing everything away I went over to support the Rocklands Cider
Festival. I had inly intended to stay for an hour but there was a great
atmosphere there as some of the other stallholders were there too, so it made
for a great after party.
