Today the weather held out and we were able to go ahead and have our annual apple picking day.
I was quite worried that it was going to be rained out or muddy as it had been raining this morning and a bit overcast; but, by 10AM the sun started to come out and the sky was turning blue.
I met Gerard, Ryan and Callum (that is Gerard & Callum) in the picture at Wilkens Farm - I had half a dozen apple cider donuts as I knew the boys had not had lunch. During the week there is no hayride to the orchards; but, instead you walk there. It was nice and tranquil as there was no one else picking apples and it was a great walk to the orchard. We picked about 60 apples, picked up some cider, apple butter and a few things for the boys to eat - then headed to my home.
We had a nice lunch and time to visit and then I packed the baking I had done for my team to take to work tomorrow.
I know have a whole sack of apples that I need to find various ways to cook.
