Still sorting the harvest

Hi sorry I have not posted on here as much but I have been busy turning the harvest into things .
This weekend I was steam juicing the apples that I collected from off the plot I have not been down the local lanes as yet but one of the Wood turners (Trev)  said I could harvest his if I wanted I will have to see if I have the bottles and space.
The freezer is full so I was making fruit leathers with the pulp I have been looking at buying some bottles or using beer bottles to see if they work to keep the apple juice in..

The shooting season has Started and I was beating on Saturday near Boston on Wack and Jays shoot.
I brought a Brace of pheasants home I must say that only 27 lots of game were shot and a lot of them were pigeons and a few hares.

I am off on one on Saturday but I will take both dogs I just hope blue behaves his self.
I have this Friday off so back to normal  I have been in the office most of the week  but out first thing tomorrow at Frithville near Boston then in the office paper work who needs it.

I have picked all the pears off the trees on the plot and in my garden they will be next for the steam juicer and dryer.

The pears don't keep too long and soon go soft I like them hard .
Still finding the odd mushroom on my walks but have hardly dried any this year so I will have to keep my eye on the market and super markets for offers.

The garage needs more shelving so I can spread into there with my bottles and Jars.
