Anyone recognise the backdrop to this beautiful new release from @Harpandamonkey …?! We’ll give you a clue: it’s a place we know rather well and we keep our apples there!

Fascinating photos of @HMount_Orchard from the 70s/80s (?). Glad that pylon has disappeared though! ⚡️

The biodiversity value of old traditional orchards ⬇️ Even with dwarf trees planted in the 1980s and (without use of chemicals) ours is a haven for wildlife 💚 our orchards! @NTGates @ProjectOrchard @HMount_Orchard @OrchardWenlock

Some people have been asking why at “only” 100 years old Coton Orchard is being called “ancient”. Steve Oram @PTES #Biodiversity Officer walks along the proposed C2C busway path & explains what makes traditional orchards an irreplaceable habitat #SaveCotonOrchard 🍎🍐🌳🚌❌

After a very January-ish start to January, I think this month has just turned a corner. Brilliant work stuff, a tennis match, then a day spent in crisp blue skies, pulling down a greenhouse @HMount_Orchard.
