A jaunt into their sunny garden provided residents at our home in Alnwick with possibly one of the freshest apple crumbles around.
When their generous neighbours said they could pick the apples from the overhanging branches in their garden, resident, Hughie, was delighted to take up the offer and collected a healthy crop in double-quick time.
With the help of some of his keen, culinary-skilled housemates, the juicy apples were then cooked and turned into a delicious apple crumble in time for tea.
From tree to plate in just a few hours was an exciting challenge for the whole household and gained a taste test score of 100% from everyone, too.
