Hello there ...
bit of a windy and wet start to the day ... but the sun came out to play for a while this afternoon.
Our son Will and his partner Kat have been visiting ...
so I roped him into cutting ... extreme pruning ... my Apple trees ...its his job so he knows what he's doing.
The trees have got totally out of hand .. so needed a good old trim.
And he is young and fit enough to get up and in there ...
I'd hate to think of the consequences should Hubby P try the same these days....
A good spectator sport ...
Trees are looking a bit bare but will benefit from the trim and come back nice and strong.
A good job done ....
and all inside for a drop of Pea and Ham soup.

Hubby P has just got back from picking up the most enormous old Victorian chest of drawers ... my ... they made things big in those days ... even the ladies bloomers were 'roomy'...

I've just asked Hubby P to get the duck out of the freezer ... we're having a nice bit of duck for New Years Eve dinner ... frugal duck of course ... special bargain price (I think).. 2 huge ducks for £12
....how about you ?
... have you a bargain feast lined up ...
something tasty to welcome in the New Year ...
