It ain't half hot Mum

What's it like where you are?
We're sweltering!
It's the perfect day for fruit picking and that's what we're doing. I started with the odd-bods: Chinese hawthorn, crab-apples, tree strawberries, blackboy peaches, nashi and japonica apples (I've never seen such a harvest of japonica! They're destined for jellying.) and now we're on mid-season apples - there are boxes and boxes of them. Luckily Joel, our Brit wine-maker turned up and helped us lug boxes of fruit up to the house.
We are doing that now, so I'd better get back to it.

Good on you dutchie - today's not so bright so you timed your romp well (and got up early to start today as well!)
