IN THE COUNTRY WITH Clodagh McKenna
his time of the year is most definitely my favourite. The old apple trees that were here when we arrived at Broadspear are weighed down with juicy fruit. And the orchard that we planted in December 2019, which has 29 varieties of apple, pear, quince, mulberry, cherry, medlar, apricot, damson and plum, is fruiting for the first time, thanks to our bees!
