Today Mabel and Dijon's servant risked life and limb to prune the apple tree, climbing high to reach the tallest shoots.
Were they grateful? Well Mabel taught the thickest branch a lesson or two, but they showed little interest in the shoots. They seem to prefer the leaves when they're crispy, so perhaps tomorrow they'll show more gratitude.
Yum! Betty and Alfie have their cases packed and are on their way to yours!

ReplyDeleteBIlly and Lily are jealous. They also like the leaves crunchy. But they are ace at stripping the bark off the branches and twigs.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Mabel so well again!
