End of August 2016!

The season is rapidly progressing towards the evenings drawing in and heavy dews at dawn. While many of you are suffering heavy downpours and flash flooding , here just a few spots have fallen – a dry August indeed.

Apples are slowly becoming edible with Discovery around at present. Worcester Pearmain and St Edmund’s Russet are not worthy of even a scrumpers munch yet.
