It looks like I will have to wait and
see if my young Bramley apple bears any fruits. It has
flowers now and there is one apple tree nearby also in
flower. The neighbours also have apple trees, so I'm
keeping fingers crossed.

Normandy being cider and Calvados country, I imagine there must still be
plenty of orchards, old or new or dilapidated around? Are there many bee
keepers?
