I thought that we had escaped the virulent apple ermine moth infestations that have devastated so many apple trees this year. Sadly I noticed signs on my beloved Bramley apple tree. It was time to act.

and set off down the orchard chopping out infected branches on as many apple trees as I could reach. Now I have to burn them and tomorrow I’ll get up a ladder to reach the higher branches.





The vet saw them recently Mabel has lost some weight and Nigel has got heavier!

No use denying it, Nigel. You have flour all over your face !










The sheep. They have plenty of grass to munch.
