This afternoon the Band played at Tenbury Applefest – a celebration
of all things apple! There was cider, apple pies, a hog roast with apple
sauce and of course lots of apples. We are lucky enough to have Frank Matthews
nearby – a well respected grower of all types of fruit trees. They have
over 200 different varieties of apples and many were displayed in a
huge marquee. I had guests stay with me recently visiting their apple
tree that Matthews were trialling due to its tolerance of wet
conditions. If successful it will be called Gressingham Lady so look out
for it!
Tomorrow is our annual apple pressing day! I must confess our cider from last year is not much good although Amy and Adrian have supposedly made a quality brew – I hope they bring a sample for us to try tomorrow!
