I met Louise from Abundance York at an address just a few minutes walk from home. The homeowner had two large apple trees and didn’t want the fruit to go to waste. I started off with the very long ‘claw type’ picker in the eating apple tree (some sort of gala variety Louise thought) while Louise and the homeowner set to work on the bramley apple tree. As some of the bramleys were quite big they made a great thud when they hit the ground, much to the delight of the homeowner’s little boy who was enjoying watching us. Louise gathered up any that had fallen (and were possibly bruised) separately while I carefully placed the ones I’d picked into the trays. After 45 minutes I had to leave to go to my second GG mission of the day but was pleased to be able to help.
