Apples

Found some lovely apples - was so excited as there were apples for sale I haven't seen for years! Peter can't bear apples so I rarely have them at home but this is an error I realise. Firstly, Isobel loves them. Secondly, they are lovely. Thirdly, you can always make a crumble! So we were driving Isobel back from Hunstanton beach where we had been flying kites (well Peter had been flying a kite) and we stopped at Drove Orchards where they are growing more than 100 types of apple. Lovely coxs orange pippin, Spartans and egremot russets! Yummy. The owner even gave Peter a free one (much to his happiness - although he did have a bite of Isobels today and declared it quite nice!). Ok, I need to get out more to get so excited about apples. But its so frustrating to only find about 3 types of apple for sale in the supermarkets and to be honest many fruit and veg shops near us. Interesting article about it here in The Ecologist.
