Dates for your diary

The plums are growing well and sizing up nicely. Apples though are looking less bountiful and some varieties don’t look as if they’ll have a good year. Our Plum Weekend this year will be on 19th / 20th August and our Apple Weekend on 7th / 8th October.
In the meantime, we have the White Ladies Aston Fete on Saturday 24th June 2 – 4.30pm. Paul will be manning the bottle tombola so if you have any fruit related questions, you’ll find him there! For those of you who are fans of The Archers, Trevor Harrison who plays Eddie Grundy will be opening the event.

Blossom Sunday

The plum and damson blossom is at its best this weekend and the orchard will be open from 2 – 4.30pm tomorrow (Sunday 2nd April) for you to enjoy it. Bring your camera, easel, dogs, children! Tea/coffee/biscuits will be available and a donation to church funds would be appreciated. Stout shoes recommended!
