Anyone fancy some apples?
stewed apple?
baked apple?
apple crumble?
If any locals are reading this then do please message me and I'll gladly bag some up for you... although you'll have to make your own crumble.
It was an incredibly dry summer but the September rains certainly made up for it. Our apple tree is still producing as you can see below...
I dare say the first hard frost will put a stop to this year's apple production and yes, winter will soon be upon us, but there is something rather cosy about a sharp frost on a day when I don't have to go out and I can spend the time snuggling up by the fire reading, or writing, or more likely trying to beat Daughter at Wordle. We swap our results every day. I suspect she's doing it to keep my brain cells active. They say that as you get older you need to exercise your mind as well as your body.
I'm working on the mind but I have to admit that the body is becoming a tad neglected. I used to go swimming but can't face that shivery getting-into-cold-water bit these days so I try to do a ten minute Youtube 'Exercise for the Older Woman' a few times a week and I occasionally do a lone dance when they play an old song on the radio. The beauty of lone dancing is you can be as daft as you like, arms waving, legs stomping...
Oh dear, am I turning into an old woman wearing purple? Please don't reply to that. I already know the answer!
