Harvey Keitel as Auggie Wren tells William Hurt 'the best Christmas story you ever heard' in SMOKE (Wayne Wang, 1995). Script by Paul Auster. Straight after watching the film I went out and bought The New York Trilogy and The Music of Chance. youtube.com/watch?v=_kCUbw…

Looking forward to Common Ground #AppleDay tomorrow? The #Orchard Garden will be a ‘gene bank’ for 37 endangered north west cultivars, like this beauty, the Burr Knot. We’ll also be sharing the #apple love & giving 200 trees to #community organisations across the region

#AppleDay

'Why do we need so many different kinds of apples? Because there are so many different folks... There is merit in variety itself. It provides more points of contact with life, and leads away from uniformity and monotony.'
Liberty Hyde Bailey, Apple-Tree, 1922.

Happy #AppleDay ..!

Today is #AppleDay , one of the core moments of autumn: ow.ly/Elq450BXgFL

Celebrate the humble apple with a golden and delicious recipe, a spot of apple bobbing at home, wassailing practice in the garden and maybe take a wander through an orchard near you.
