Like many people this autumn, we have had an abundance of apples.  Cookers will store, but our Katy and Discovery dessert apples will not.  So, we filled one of our vintage crates and left it by the gate with a Help Yourself sign.  They soon vanished.  The children then used a friend's apple press to make a dozen or so bottles of juice.  But there were still more apples.

So this weekend, we had an archery tournament.  Hitting the conventional target was easy enough, but hitting the apples proved more difficult.  I guess William Tell must have been more practised!
