Apple and Pear Picking at Blackmoor Estate - a picture post

We have been apple (and pear) picking on the beautiful local Blackmoor Estate pretty much every year since we moved here. It is one of those events like Christmas and Easter that is not to be missed and we always seem to get a lovely sunny autumn morning for it which makes for some lovely photos. So here it is apple picking at Blackmoor Estate in pictures (some from this year some from years past):

  1. Oh I could almost smell the sweet pears and apples at the orchard. There's something special picking fruit with children.

  4. Beautiful photos and it looks so peaceful there. I've never been to a pick your own farm, but I've got plenty of experience climbing up my grandparents' trees and eating fruit straight from the tree ;)
