We were allowed to go gleaning in a local orchard and the children had a blast. First they loaded up in the mower drawn cart and off they went.
Once we all arrived in the orchard, the children set to work getting the unwanted apples. The apples were carefully placed in baskets that were in the cart. The youngest overlooked the operations. Once the baskets were full we were ready to go home, but the children had something else in mind.
They filled up the cart around the baskets and the young overseers. It was ok for a while but the boys soon decided that they didn't like being crowded by the apples and found themselves walking with the rest of us.
All in all, it was a great day in the country. With beautiful skies, sunny weather and all the apples that you could want, what more could you ask for?
