If anyone is free during the period of Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th to assist in some heavy duty apple picking then let me know. One person can pick 300kg a day easily, with more than one it could be done it much less time. I'll want to take a tonne.
I pay in cider.
The cider apple season is a little ahead of schedule at the orchard and I'm going to have to crack on with it. This is completely seperate to the other cidermaking event.

Those full sacks were feckin heavy, especially the little Dabinetts.
Good fun on both days, quite a bit of work ahead, something like 25 runs of the press - starting soon.
