Apple Day

Being such a nice day, weather wise,we went to our favourite haunt Oakwell Hall today.

They were holding their annual apple day, a bit like Cannon Halls pear day I posted about previously.There were numerous varieties of apples to taste and choose from, but you were restricted to 6 apples each, because last year there were so many people turned up that they ran out early on.

We chose our apples and then wandered around the place. The sun was shining and it got quite warm. Very pleasant, not bad for October. The place looks really nice with the trees showing their Autumn colours. We were amused watching a couple of squirrels collecting beech nuts and then burying them under the bushes.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the battle of Agincourt, it is also St Swithens day and also, I was born 51 years ago in 1953.

Were have the years gone?
