Apples are unloaded
The Annual Cider Making Event, Stuston, Suffolk - 11th October 1990
It's Geoff and Brenda's annual cider-making thrash, involving Winnie the Little Grey Fergie and a converted rag press, as well as three tons of mixed apples from Wisset. Later, there's some sort of lunch and a game of croquet.
