Apple Pie

I’m floating between two houses this week.  Numbers 2 and 3 grandchildren left for school at 8 am this morning but number 1 was still in bed when we left.  That will change tomorrow as he has to be at university by 9 am so we will all be rushing around trying not to bump into each other.

P picked these Bramley apples from the old tree and there still seems to be a lot more to pick.  They are great cookers so I stewed them when I got home and plan to make some pies  when I have more energy.  We’ve had a bumper crop this year so the neighbours have been benefiting as well.

We collected no, 2 from school at 3 pm and, of course, it was pouring with rain.  He comes out with his jacket open and no raincoat.  P has just gone to collect no, 3 who stays late to rehearse as she is in the school play - Guys and Dolls this year - which we plan to see in November.  At least it’s stopped raining.  They don’t seem to feel the cold as wander around the house in T shirts, shorts and bare feet.  Oh to be young again!!
