Mixed Fruit

A busy day between rain showers. First job of the day was burying gralloch from yesterday's deer. I guarantee badgers will find it within 24 hrs. It would be far easier to dump it straight into their earth, but that would no doubt be illegal.
Whilst in the wood I repaired a couple of high seats which had shifted in the recent gales. Back to the farm and damson picking. Not a heavy crop this year but fruit is much larger than recent years. Will make damson vodka this time as my damson gin stocks are adequate.
Collected a few apple windfalls and stewed a bucketful for the freezer. Our main cooking apple crop will go into shed storage when ready in Oct/Nov.
