Wouldn't it be lovely if all our parks and empty fields were full of different varieties of apple trees. And instead of grabbing a plastic bag filled with sweaty red apples from the other side of the world, we would instead go out on a sunny day to reach for fresh fruit with the finest blushed skin.

Have you ever been to Newburgh in Fife, Lorna? They have several old orchards ( on the common land, I think) and they get the whole community involved in picking and selling the apples.
ReplyDeleteNo I never have Janet, that sounds wonderful. I wish more people would do this.
