Working party and midsummer picnic

It's summer in the orchard, and the lush growth of the grass and wild flowers is looking good. We're especially pleased that the yellow rattle seems to have taken - the grass is noticeably shorter in the main area where this was sown a couple of years ago.



There are still a few flowers on some of the apple trees - including Court Pendu Plat, which was looking a little forlorn last month - and the medlars, seen here.

Today we held our midsummer picnic - in the orchard rather than in the Old Bowling Green for once!
