The bad thing is I never visit Scotland
probably like Normandy is what you buy in the shop
is tasteless rubbish you just taste the alcohol
If you have the real Calvados its 50° , 60° or even 70°  :o :o
but from 20 , 30 or even over 40 varieties of apples
in our region with some 10% pears
after 10 minutes you still taste the apples   :P :P
o yeah you don't drink it not even zip it you drip it

Fermi,they are planted in a 30cm deep raised bed facing south about 180cm from the front of the house. The compost is about 50-50 grit and soil and they get no special treatment.

A very nice form of the red Michael. Some are not much redder than the pinkish version of the white - if you see what I mean.

Michael, I'm wishing you a very happy birthday now, because sure as eggs is eggs, I'll forget on Sunday. You'll be joining that exclusive club to which David N and I belong. ;D

And a happy birthday to all others in this month too. I've already missed some, so apologies to them and to you too Maggi, for stuffing up yet another thread with off topic notes. :-*
