Three of us met Ruth from Abundance York to help get the remaining apples 🍏 🍎 from the trees before Friday when they would no longer be able to access the site⛔️. After Sunday's group had done such a good job, the only apples left were quite high and difficult to reach. The fact that the trees were on a steep slope, and we'd had some rain 🌧, added to the difficulty. Armed with a variety of tools, along with a couple of other volunteers, after an hour we had managed to fill a few crates of apples 🍏 (including some nice big ones) which Ruth later informed me totalled about 45kg.

These Granny Smiths type apples keep well (so Ruth told me) so they will be stored 📦 for a few weeks and given to various food projects in York. A great task to save such wonderful fruit from going to waste. We managed to dodge the rain during the task but sadly not on our way home as we were treated to another shower 🌧.
