The apple crop is very large this year and we are receiving lots of fruit given to us in exchange for preserves. Most days I find someone has left bags of windfall apples outside our gate. Yesterday, I went down to Whickham to go to a couple of houses where the residents had picked the apples and plums from trees in their back gardens. We will have plenty of apples for more preserve making and for fodder for the goats through the winter. Were we not doing this, it is highly likely the fruit would have been taken to the local tip.
