This year our apple tree had a good year. The summer was a good mix of sun and rain, and we didn’t have as many wasps, snails or birds taking the apples for themselves as in some previous years.

We gave neighbours and the parents of Y’s best friend each 1-2kgs of apples, ate some, and filled the fridge. There’s still some on the tree to be picked too.
