Today was harvest day at the Dick Turpin Orchard, which Jenny Chalmers, Chairman of the Aldborough Hatch Defence Association, nurtures with help from a small band of enthusiasts. This year's crop was much smaller than last year. Just four boxes. The Bramleys were best - but not as many this year. They have gone for jam making and preserves for the Christmas Market. I have made some apple and blackberry crumbles and also frozen some stewed apple - always good to eat in the winter.
