    Just whacked my CV over to him anyway. It's in Cambridge and I've got every gig he's ever put me forward for over there, so maybe the lucky streak will continue


    Good luck!

        Half of the apples which went into it were from a variety called "Red Love", it's not a cider apple but is unique in that the flesh is bright red.
        It's running at about 6.5%
        Is it early ripening? As in all done by mid August?

          Last year it was very early. Normally 2nd week in September but everything in our garden was about 3-4 weeks early.

              I have an unidentified apple tree in the garden that bears shedloads of fruit, it gets edible by mid July and it's ripe and falling off by mid August.

              The flesh is distinctly pink when ripe.

                I doubt it's red love - the variety was only introduced to the UK about 5 years ago. A guy in Switzerland has been cross-breeding for years to produce them.

                You can ask the RHS, or ask the guys at Orchard Pig.

                Is it a cooker or eater? Have you tried making cider from it?

                  I've worked in Cambridge a few times over the years - I usually stay at the Premier Inn up Huntingdon Road, towards Girton. Then it's a nice walk of about a mile to the Castle Inn for my dinner every evening

                      +1 at the wharf.

                      But 25 minutes ago it was snowing. 5 minutes ago there was thunder.

                      If I wanted this weather I would move to Wales.
