This is to give you an idea on what I have been doing and where the money goes from the sales of my pens and my better half’s crochet items.

this year we have been raising funds for our village Wild Orchard (some lovely varieties of apples and pears 😍)

we raised enough from sales this year to purchase a new notice board and we installed it yesterday.

Just got to put in the plan of the orchard and a few notices about the different trees and it is all done 👍👍

It would be good if a lot more villiages did something similar, Colin.
Apples and pears should do well in Dorset.
I would recommend that you include 'Discovery' on your apple list.

I think we have 17 different types of Apple tree Alan.
We are creating a map / plan of the orchard with all the different varieties some are really nice, some are disgusting 🤮 but down to taste 🤔
