This was rather good. 😋 "OLGA L'EXTRA-BRUTE" Cidre de Normandie by Alain Caboulet @ Domaine des Hauts Vents, Saint-Ouen-de-Tileul. Tannic & powerful. 👌 Cracking label too. We're hoping to call in this winter for more. Plus their excellent Poiré, Pommeau & Calvados... 🇨🇵
Similar here. Half on the tree, half on the floor... Can't put off pressing the windfalls any longer, though.
Two sessions with different practioners at Drs surgery this morning 🙄, so trekked down to The Beer Shack for beery resuscitation, with The GoodeWyffe. 😊 And los dos perros de sidra of course. 🐾🐾 👌
Sadly as they weren't in the "medium to sweet" range, only 10L BiBs were ordered. I suspect they won't last long...

The Goode Wyffe delivered our ciders for the Nottingham CAMRA Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival today. While at Trent Bridge, she was presented with the certificate for "Favourite Cider" from Heather, Branch Cider Officer, as voted for by those on this year's Nottingham CAMRA "Cider Saunter". 😊 🍐🍎🍏
Yesterday was 20th Anniversary of the EU Pet Passport being launched.👌 Yarly (R) has benefited from this since 2010; Wee Black Beastie since 2022. Thanks to their vet in Spain, they still hold EU Pet Passports. 😊
