There’s a round-up of 2023 by the various contributors to @ciderreview.bsky.social this morning, including @amethystheels.bsky.social. Mine feels a little darker than usual 😬🙂

It’s been an honour to contribute to the only site I know with such a collective of writers, dedicated to cider and perry.

Ah, while writing that, CR has joined the Blue ranks! 😃

Good morning.
A couple years ago I kicked off a project to plant a new meadow orchard dedicated to rare and endangered perry pear varieties. Thanks to wonderful sponsors, we will be planting 48 trees probably next month. But I have been working on a phase 2, and yesterday that came a step closer…
