Happy Easter!
Spring term ends with a children's Easter service at the village church and the churchyard is worth a quiet wander at this time of year. There are some delightful architectural features, swathes of wildflowers and blossoming trees.
Hoping the Year of the Dragon is a happy, healthy and prosperous year for all!
This evening we are drinking to the health of our apple trees and hoping that this year's harvest will be a good one! For hot mulled cider, or warm mulled apple juice for little ones, you can make a sachet of the following: cinnamon, star anise, cardamom pods, fresh ginger, dried orange peel, nutmeg. Add honey to sweeten.
Delicious and terrifying all at the same time.
Another sunny October day for our 6th annual Apple Pressing.
The press dates from 1750 and was one of the first things to be restored when we moved here 6 years ago. It stands in an open barn and needs to be cleaned and oiled before each annual apple pressing.
Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night in the summer holidays (weather permitting) the cafe have a curry night. Don't forget a blanket and a bottle of something.
