She'll be Apples!

Autumn is the time for apples. And it was our topic of enquiry for yesterday's 'class'.
A lovely client of mine has two apple trees which she allowed us to pick from. Pink ladies and Granny Smith apples in abundance. The kids had a ball picking the fruit, exclaiming over its size and realising that a truly organic apple is less than 'perfect' in its appearance.

Armed with our bounty it was back to the farm for a day or serious play and apple preparation.....

Along with our fabulous French wwoofers we sat around the table, peeling, coring and chopping apples and chatting about life...

What followed was apple sauce and apple crumble with ice cream, swimming in the river, jumping off the houseboat as well as a game of 'let's turn ourselves into mud monsters and morph completely into the landscape...'
