The Gala apples are now fantastic with a few warm days at last after all this rain ripening them up. There are also Packham, Brown and Williams pears to pick. The Gala day on Jan 28 was a great success despite a few showers. Thankyou to those who came for your support. We went through a record number of sausages (maybe the cool damp weather) and fortunately the Gala apples were just ripe on time for picking. With peaches, plums and pears to pick it was a great weekend. Click on the Facebook link for photos.
