Apples and Pears

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.
