L'arbre de Papa

Last week we received an apple-picking invitation from the organic orchard where Marc's tree (l'arbre de Papa) stands. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about: for christmas last year, Isabelle gave Marc a one-year adoption for an organic apple tree, including the harvest in the autumn (what great ideas that child has...). So off we went, to what turned out to be the other end of the country (apparently, Gelderland is not so very close to where we live, what was Isabelle thinking?), under a hot hot Indian Summer sun, and we harvested...

and harvested...

and harvested some more...

... and then got Frans (who came along for the ride) to carry the crates to the car. So if you happen to be in the neighbourhood and in need of refreshment, we have 10 kilos worth of delicious Elstar, fresh from the source, just waiting for you.
