Sorting them and wrapping them in newspaper, placing in cardboard boxes and putting them in the large metal storage box in the cat barn.  The imperfect apples must be used quickly but there are only so many apple crumbles that I want to put in the freezer.  Any takers…….come and collect this week please.

This morning, in the front garden, I found this dead bird that I cannot identify.  Does anyone know what it is? It has very large feet and quite a long beak.
