Leaf Them Alone!

The apples are ready! Katie just loves them - but she's not allowed to shake our little tree! A few years back she shook the whole lot off in one go :)

This one was from a friend's garden where Katie was playing after school this afternoon. She was pretty muddy when she arrived because it was her school trip to learn about archeology today - in the rain! And she was even muddier when she came home after rolling about the friends' back garden.

Washing on! And the heating fixed today so that's no problem. Gas powered hot water for the first time in 3 months, just in time for the season.
