As promised… This started life as dictated notes while walking the dog a couple weeks ago, and was intended to be an Instagram post about what it’s like being a part-time cider maker and orchardist. But there are many more out there doing the same afterhours toil. So this is for them.

A few days in the life of some of our apples. These will come back to Le Manoir as apple brandy in 5 years time. A big shout out to Capreolus distillery who we have worked with for a few years now. I love seeing the outcome of so much work over the growing year.

Apples are so diverse, here's 20 apple blossom pics of our 153 varieties of apple. Masses of blossom, no major spring frosts, a lot of sun and barely any wind, meaning all pollinators are out and pollination is not a problem at all this year.
