First pressing of the year

After all the apple picking this week I have decided to press the apples with a few of my newly made friends.

Manon was the first to join to help set up the gazebo, tables and chairs followed swiftly by Andrea of the NVS (new comers and visiting scholars)

Silvia came with her children and mother and father,who also turned out to be great helpers.

We had a fun and productive morning we started at 9.30 and finished by 11.30 at which time Graham and Lida came to pick up the press and hopper so that they could use it for their group at the workshop. It was such a success so that next year we might combine the pressing and do this together.
