Cider # 5 - Disasterous Apple Season!

After a promising start, this apple season has been a bit of a dead-loss.  I would estimate that we have around 1/20th of last year's crop.


Bardsey Island Apple - One of Two!
The Bardsey Island Apple tree which did really well last year has only produced 2 (!) fruits this year after a pretty comprehensive 'June Drop'.  However, they do at least look delicious.  I'll have one in my packed lunch tomorrow and Jo will enjoy the other one!  No cider this year unfortunately!
