Some apples with marks on that can not be stored but I should be able to dry if cut carefully. It feels like it is never ending but it will end eventually and we can enjoy them over winter.

I have to say I was pretty excited, but I did not realise that people would travel miles to see one! I was also thrilled to see the Wren and would love to see that again as well, though I realise over there that they are more common. My In-Laws always had one around when we visited at Christmas<br /><br />Keep well and yes you stay safe as well.
