Make cider while the sun shines

What a lovely warm day it was yesterday! Once the sun had burnt off the morning mist there were glorious blue skies. We met up with some friends at a car boot sale (after an early start with Matilda) and they invited us back to theirs to help make cider from apples they and various friends had picked. We spent a relaxing afternoon in their garden: sorting apples, trying to work the press, eating delicious beetroot soup and fresh bread, all washed down with freshly pressed apple juice of course! We didn't get far with the cider-making - the press wasn't up to the job. But it was a fun day anyway!
