| − | We will be here from 10.30 till 3 for this family freindly fun event. If your apple tree at home did well this year why not bring along your own apples and join in using our fantastic heritage press and scratter to turn it in to the finest tasting apple juice you will ever have come across.We will check how many apples you bring and you will be able to take home the equivalent in juice (bring a container!). The juice is pretty fantastic, but if you want to go the extra mile we can also instruct you how to turn it into your own delicious cider. Our orchards did pretty badly fruit wise this year due to the terrible weather at pollination time, but we have managed to beg, borrow and steal enough apples for the day so even if your tree was bare (or you have no tree) you can still come along and join in.

| − | The Black Down countryside team will be on hand to offer advice or answer any of your orchard, apple, or cider related questions. In the light of this years bad harvest we hope to increase chances of good luck for next year by holding a community wassail and bringing some positive appley luck to the orchard, further details coming soon.

Dragonflies have long been a favourite of mine, they are masters of the air, supreme hunters that live fascinating life cycles. They spend most of their lives as larvae in the ponds where they are the terror of other water bourne invertibrates which they hunt mercilessly. Then (after as much as 2 years under the water) they crawl up a likely looking plant stem, shed their larval coat and emerge blinking into the sunlight to spend a few brief weeks on the wing. They mate, lay their eggs and then die as the seasons advance.
