Monday, and in between showers and hail storms, Sarah came round with Skye and Jasmin. The apple tree's been looking ripe and ready to go for a week or so now, so we decided to start the harvest. We've got about half the apples off the tree, of which about half were good and are now in storage. The rest were nibbled or scarred or providing homes to bugs, so we trimmed them and juiced them right out there in the garden, ending up with 3 litres of home-grown apple juice! The kids had a great time and it was all very good and wholesome and natural. In other Apple news (ahem), Holly's mouse skills are coming on apace, as she showed this morning when she spent a good chunk of time colouring in butterflies on Charlie and Lola's web site.
