Apple Day 2011

Today was Apple Day in our village. The weather was polar opposite from last year and loads of people came out to play!

I spent the morning setting up and manning the apple bobbing and scarecrow making 'stalls' for the pre-school. They were pretty popular and we even had one daddy join in to show us how it was done, needless to say I managed to resist!

Gran and grandad came for the day and I think enjoyed themselves. The village hall had lots of stalls and there was an Apple Day recipe book for sale with samples of all the dishes to test, yum! My favourite bit, as with last year, was walking round the orchard scrumping apples off the floor to try - they have over 300 varieties so we were spoilt for choice.

I think we could have happily spent the afternoon sat on the grass, watching the world go by and sampling the 50+ different ciders on offer (though I suspect we might not have been able to get back up had we done this :)). A very enjoyable community day!
