Saturday 26th August was Harvest Day at the Dick Turpin and Cuckoo Hall Orchards when a few of the stalwarts gathered with long poles led by Jenny and Chris. Many of those who worked on the orchards are on holidays could not join us - but we had a great day as you will see.
Some of us have pears waiting to ripen on window sills and also apples which we are stewing and freezing, with one or two for baked apple! I might even try making an apple crumble!
Lots of fruits in the church halls for the ladies of the parish to take home for preserve making for the Christmas Market!
We were joined by Councillor Debbie Kaur-Thiera who was a dab hand with the picking-poles!
