CROWDS attended the harvest time Big Apple events with attractions and activities for all the family.
Everything from the extraordinarily talented ukulele band called Uke Can't Be Serious who played everything from country and western, Queen, rock, Beatles and easy listening.
There was Ryland Rare breed sheep racing, spinning wool from alpacas, cider tasting (and flagons for sale.), Japanese painting, DNA testing on apples, old milking machinery and an apple press.
Out in force were the Ledbury, Newent and other cycle groups and the Dymock Poets Society.
Great fun was had at all the venues including Woodredding, Hellens Manor, Greg's pit, and visitors were keen to see Jock the steer at Anwell's Farm (who was presented to HM the Queen five years ago).
There was a four-day old calf and it was farmer, David Powell, who supplied the beast for the Ledbury ox roast five years ago.
The flowers and orchards looked wonderful, as did the scenery, with the autumnal colours and the tractor ride was convenient and popular.
