Cider Making in Black and White, Stuston, Suffolk - 11th October 1992
It's the annual tradition that is cider making at Geoff and Brenda's in Stuston. This year there's a good turn out of regulars and newbies, and next-door neighbour and SGR radio DJ David Hoffman is on air whilst we're pressing and so plays The Osmonds' "One Bad Apple" for us, although Geoff had really wanted The Wurzels' "I Am a Cider Drinker".
Soundtrack for this album:
next album: A 747 Cockpit, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, O'ahu, Hawai'i, United States - 20th November 1992
previous album: Blackshore Quay in Black and White, Southwold and Sizewell, Suffolk - 16th September 1992
The cider gang gather around
Monique's baby
Monique's baby pretends to drive
Monique wipes something off the baby's face
Monique's baby chews on a box
The baby does a toddle
Monique scoops up the baby
Sue 'Badger' walks back from the bog
Keith and baby
Badger and Geoff fold over the first cheese
Geoff lays down another layer of muslin
Brenda spreads chopped apple around
Mike Ogilsby tips on more chopped apples
Sheila and Geoff
Linda Cork looks puzzled
Linda lobs an apple in to the chopper
Monique loads up some apples
Monique looks in the hopper
Geoff is astride the juice tank
Kipper tamps down the apples inside a 'cheese'
Brenda sticks her tongue out
Geoff 'helps' Brenda
Linda by the chopper
Keith tips in a bucket of apples
Linda tests the source material
Activity around the press
Mike and Brenda mess about
Mad Sue talks to someone
Geoff looks up
A cheese is made
Geoff spreads apple around
John and George wrap up a cheese
David Cork gets some close-up video
Another cheese frame is added
John furious tamps down apples
The ten cheeses are ready for pressing
The stack of 'cheeses' is wrapped in plastic
The top pressing board is applied
Geoff straps up the drive belt
Winnie is strapped up to the press
Geoff fires up Winnie the TE-120
Winnie drives the press
Linda feeds apple juice into a barrel
Geoff drives in reverse as the pressing is done
Linda gets wheeled about in a barrow
The compressed waste apple is tipped out
More pressed apple
The chopper hopper is washed out
Corky cleans the pump
Corky cleans the chopper blades
Post cider-making dinner
Geoff acts as a foot stool for Mike
