Apple Day, 2012

the day began beautifully...

...and held beautiful all day

A bright, beautiful autumn day with clear skies and hogweed seedheads

Activities: tiny clay apples

tables of clay and treasure chests

dookin' for apples

A day of apple tasting and orchard walks, fruity stories, orchard treasure chests and apple cakes to taste. We made small apple books, and clay apples, apple trees, orchard fairies and even a monster to fit sneakily into a treasure chest
