Time for another traditional apple. A Newton Wonder. The original Newton Wonder tree was reportedly found as a seedling growing out of the thatched roof of a pub in King's Newton, Derbyshire, in the 1870s. Blimey!
Good for cooking eating & cider.
A Newton Wonder apple on a table top. It is half shiny red and half green.

New Willerby Short.
All the Cats are Black.
willerby.substack.com/p/all-the-ca...
As she grew bolder she ventured further afield. Past Jack’s Pool and the smokers outside the Green Man. Over the Green and past Sharp’s corner and then, at last, into the woods where she hunted rats, mice and other delicious things. Then deeper into the trees where, at last, she found the wide clearing where the witches once met. There she joined with the other village cats, all jet black from every nose to ever toe. A simple black image of a black cat.
