Everyone is enjoying the Harvest

Ladybird in an Apple

Over the past couple of weeks I have been enjoying this years harvest from the orchard. We have enjoyed various fruit dishes and a number of desserts. Including Plum crumble, Apple crumble and Eve's Pudding.

All have been lovely, that's thanks to my wife who has been hard at work in the kitchen  as well as helping to pick and collect the fruit. We have given away some of fruit. With lots of favorable reviews.

We have lost some fruit to the insects and birds which for us is acceptable. We seem to have lost more plums the green gages and any other fruit and at the moment is seems to be being consumed by wasps. The bees are doing well and I have made the entrances much smaller.
