[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 7763475, member: 5589"] The main thing scuppering my apple picking plans is Mum needing looking after and this afternoon I went and did todays shift of being at her house. Mum has always been a keen gardener and a farmer too, she was in charge of 7 fruit farms at one time. In her garden amongst other things she has a grape vine and when I arrived I was told she had managed to go up the garden and see the grape vine which was a massive improvement. Last week she was on a zimmer frame and now she is on a stick and actually managed to climb quite a few steps to get up to where the vine is. I'd taken her some cooking apples of mine as she likes stewed apple, we grow Belle de Boskoop and it is a family favourite even though my Grandpa ordered Bramley trees and got these instead. (Belle make good juice too, that one won Best in Show for me at Bath and West :)) I got her to peel the apple (one was enough, they are quite big) and again yesterday this would have been unheard of to get her in the kitchen and do something. There you go she says, it just needs chopping up now and I am going in the garden. I assumed she was sitting in a chair just outside the door but next minute she's shouting me to help her up the steps to the other garden. So we went off to the grape vine again and this time we picked and ate some of the grapes of which there are loads. Another miracle what with Cheshire being practically in the Arctic! [/QUOTE]
