Today I found Coxes Orange Pippin for you.I remembered that our dad had a tree and that it was the same as he also had when he was growing up.
Two years ago, on the second of april, he passed away to find a whole field of Coxes Orange pippins...
I went to Pettey"s orchard today to help on Janets stall.
It was the annual Autumn,open day with apple tastings,and vote for your best apple,and cider to try, and lots of permaculture ideas for those with small gardens to think about...
and all the heritage apples growing that we never see in the shops.
Janets stall had us making hot chai tea,Mexican hot choc. Homemade apple cake,biscotti,hot fresh roasted chestnuts and beautiful Autumn figs....

At Janets farm during the week we picked chestnuts.
Seamus and I picked and scrounged and peeled and bucketed all day.
With cups of tea coming and going,we managed to collect about 90kgs
of the beautiful brown shiny chestnuts.

How lovely Thomsey. Yes I think of Dad every time I se a Coxs Orange Pippin. Petty's orchard would be at its pinnacle at the moment. Nice to think of you and Seamus picking & chatting.
