On the catwalk 19/30

Sometimes I actiually have to use the camera for work.  This week it has been product shots; holiday cottage interiors and today our new vintage cider. I've entered all three into the Taste of the West contest this year, so I'll have to reshoot this if they win anything!

We restarted the cider production just over ten years ago; the cows were eating all the apples and getting rowdy.

White's Original is named after the White family who made Ashcombe Cider from the late 1800's to the 1950's.  

Gratton's Gold is named after Peter Gratton who farmed and looked after the orchard from the 1950's to 2012.

Finally St Nectar which is a play on St Nectan - the patron saint of the parish church, whose head was cut off by cattle thieves in about 510AD.  He carried his own head home to die and wherever his blood drop fell foxgloves were said to grow.
