From the 9th - 22nd October I was in mainland Europe looking at orchards, working on them and being taught how to maintain trees (Grafting and various Pruning). I did some bush cutting using skills I picked up a couple of weeks ago. I also looked at some of the products that can be produced from the fruits, juice and syrup etc.
We also visited Europom 2009 and helped on the RHS stand and various other bits that the organisers wanted done.
Its wasn't a jolly and we did work hard; we being 14 people from around the country many with specialist skills and knowledge. The boys shared a dorm and we cooked together etc it was like being at school again. I did enjoy it.
I have loads off pictures etc
