POST APPLE DAY...

I’ve been a bit quiet as I had post-apple day illness. I spent all day outside in the ‘fresh’ air running the Tonka toy challenge for children....who are always full of bugs and clearly decided to pass some on!

Still, the challenge went very well. The record for the tractor and trailer was 22 apples across the course and for the yellow truck -24. I have to say that the competitive child that set the record of 24 apples may have bent the rules a little (if not also the Tonka toy).

The best ‘crash’ was from a small French child who managed to roll the dumper truck. I’m still not sure how because I tried to make the course ‘do-able’ for virtually anyone – still, that’s the French for you!

The picture is not of the Tonka challenge...but a rather bigger challenge that was also taking place at Burwash on Apple Day – the vintage ploughing match!
