Making Cider








The weather was amazing today. My old school friend Jez was having a cider making weekend. (most weekends at this time of year he makes cider because thats what he does for his job, alongside organic farming).So off we went to help collect apples and press them and sample the goods. I had a 'kier rural' ,like a champagne (but cider) with blackcurrant cordial.
The children loved it, not the cider (!) but the rural adventure.The weather couldn't have been more perfect.We would've stayed for the veg stew around the campfire but Iris was SO HUNGRY and the food was still an hour and a half away at 6pm.I'm sure we could be persuaded to volunteer again...
