Apples, Allotments and Red 8

Still unpicked.

 Apples

 I've noticed that in what appears to have been a good year for apples in the UK many fruits have (and still do) remain unpicked - I'm not sure what this says about the state of the country and our diet -I wonder if the trees had Twix bars there'd be more interest?

 (And here are some tips for pickers)

Allotments 

A historic site

Good to see that the London Standard has coverage of the story about 'our' (Northfields) Allotments - development proposals are being downward tweaked but for me there's a real principle involved -Bishop of London bequeathed (1832-ish) land for specific purpose - allotments not housing I don't think our Law would (or should)  support this high handed attitude by career administrators seeking to impress.

(BBC Radio London been covering too)

Red 8

Well we've had a few forms of Red in transport- busses, bikes, cars even scooters  here's a predominantly red taxi..

Usually black this is far brighter.
