No more apples and pears

I hope the weather now starts to cool, it has been way too hot for me. Our shade temperature reached 31.9C yesterday. Nothing compared to some countries I know, but we aren’t used to it.

Even though the bugs and birds have taken their toll on our fruit this year, we will still have enough to not buy any for weeks. Once the bad bits are cut out, everything left is edible and they taste superb. The little trained Comice pear has loads but they are not ready yet:

Laxtons Superb are bug ridden but ready, loads to eat once processed:

The red williams pear is also plentiful, not quite ready:

We also have an Egremont Russell apple but its fruits are very small and probably won't come to much.

Any fruits that are unblemished will be stored in the fridge to slow down their ripening. We began eating our own fruit this week and should have enough for at least 2 months.
