thank you for coming to apple day!


A huge thank you to everyone who came to Painswick Apple Day 2012! Despite this years shortage of apples Greg managed to do a couple of pressings on our great oak press! 


We hope you enjoyed the music from 'out to lunch' and the field kitchen food run by Nick Simonin and his band of wonderful volunteers. The pork and apple stew was absolutely delicious. 


We would like to thank everyone who entered the baking competition, especially the children who put a lot of thought and effort into their entries. Founder of The Foodie BugleSilvana de Soissons was a fantastic and enthusiastic judge and Thyme at Southrop donated a most amazing prize ~ thank you. 


The children ate toffee apples and got thoroughly wet bobbing for apples!


Lovely Iris - co-founder of Painswick Orchard Group with another batch of apples to make into yummy fritters! 

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and to St. Mary's Church for kindly allowing us to hold apple day in the beautiful churchyard.
