It is a shame about the apple tree, but most trees are groaning with fruit this year; I have only 'scrumped' windfalls so far this year, but there are so many trees and plenty of really good apples, I am loving it. Your September tips are great too, sometimes just a little reminder but certainly useful. Look after yourselves and good luck for the coming week.

How cool to see photos from your visit. If i ever ever made it to the UK it would definately be on my touring program. Since Escape to the Country is my favorite show, the list of places to visit has grown so big i think ill need six months.

We had that happen to us with an old apple tree, suddenly one day it was flat out on the ground. Was sad because every autumn it was always full of huge delicious yellow apples. I find it sad and disturbing how so many people don't produce any of their own food. I have had people say to me that they just can't be bothered or can't find the time to fit it in their schedule. A little girl wondered why we go picking wild blueberries when they sell them in the shop. My son replied: it's fun and it's free and they taste better when one has picked them oneself. Quite right, he's getting it :-).
