Today is National Apple Day! Go out and pick apples! Go visit an orchard! Go pick up your windfalls and make a pie, a crumble, a cobbler or even a Betty if you feel that way inclined. There is only one thing worse than finding a maggot in your apple..... that's half a maggot!

 And don't forget to send me a photo of your most colourful, funniest shaped, most unusual pumpkin or squash for Matron's 
Squashblog which will be posted on 30th October.  Email pics to me at
