I see an apple tree, pull over and start gathering apples. A bunch of different varieties make for lovely apple butter, apple sauce and pies. I think I'll bake a crumble tomorrow...thanks for the suggestion, Mags.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-9408455258227496032015-10-16T00:01:06.984+01:002015-10-16T00:01:06.984+01:00Windfall scrumping is fine.

There are terraces houses backing onto the wall. We had this marvellous crop of Reverend Wilks eating apples on a tree (only about 2m tall) that we were leaving to grow rosy and one evening, every single one vanished!!! It could only have been the people backing onto out garden. One of the people who lived there had apparently been interested in the tree according to my mum. My mum went to ask if they'd seen anything but all was denied. That is BAD scrumping!x Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-83947670579927868572015-10-15T07:58:13.224+01:002015-10-15T07:58:13.224+01:00An age age age old tradition surely! xxAn age age age old tradition surely! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-1895855460515009712015-10-15T04:56:34.705+01:002015-10-15T04:56:34.705+01:00Does someone mind your scrumping?
