Generosity extended.

[Bruce Bower]

Firstly a big thank you to all the villagers who have passed on commiserations at the loss(stolen) of my favourite wheelbarrow.

You will be pleased to know that I have overcome the sad loss, bounced back and placed more apples at the bottom of the drive. They are very tasty cookers.

You may be interested to know that a couple of years ago someone visited Woodlands to photograph the two apple trees, as he was writing a book on 'Apple Trees in Somerset'. He reckoned that our trees were the oldest he had ever seen, probably 200 years old, which coincides with the date Woodlands was built.

Happy eating.

Jeremy Cox.

PS. If anyone has a really good recipe for cooking apples please let us know.
