  1. Miracles DO happen CP lol... Stay safe and warm, did Mrs CP get to work today?
  2. No snow in London, but Dull and Bitterly Cold.. Keep Warm CP & Joe, hope the Snow Melts soon..
  3. What an absolutly Disgraceful Dispicable thing to do to someone. Hope you and your Daughter are OK Knebby, after such a shock...
  4. What away to spend your working day sounds great but yer it is hard work, I can imagine what those 'Furry little Fuzz Balls' did too your eyes plus any insect bites would have driven you crazey. Those Tree Scratches sure do ruin the 'Tan'. Wow $200 was a small fortune, you couldn't earn any where near that now. On a good day I was able to pick an average of 7 Bins a day, but then we never really have the heat to contend with. As i'm getting old and decripit now if I do 4-5 I think that is good. What fond Memories and photos the CP's have to look back on especially with what seems a never ending winter..
  5. That is the same size Bin that they use for picking apples into, this year the 'Good Apple' crop was so bad that it took one picker nearly 16 hours to fill one, he wasn't the worlds best picker, he wanted the bin to be perfect after all his hard work they slapped a Ticket on 'For Juice Only' he nearly cried, then he got the sack..LOL Wow that is a lot of Spuds
  6. If you remember last year everything was early due too the nice weather we were having, then it all went 'tits up'.. I would have loved to have travelled around the World picking fruit but I never had anyone to go with. Your right the orchards are in kent, they grow Apples & Pears as well as the Soft Fruits of which I only ever eat straight from the trees never buy them. I should imagine that Potatoe picking is back breaking a bit like picking Strawberries, tried that once and only lasted 2 days, it is most certainly a young persons game.. Starting to cloud over here now.. 'Bugger' thought it was too good to be true..
  7. No CP, I only work during the Summer months picking fruit, the Farm that I work on was one of the Few that had a really good crop of Both Vic's and Cherries. The lack of Fruit was down to late frosts that had Damaged the Fruit Bud, then when the second set came on the trees it was very wet that stopped the Bees from coming out and Pollinating the Trees. So all in all it was a bad year for soft fruits hence the high prices..
  8. I was going to clean the Windows today, won't bother now if we have more abject misery on the way!!! Hope the Frost that we are having doesn't affect the new buds on the Fruit trees, like it did last year, otherwise it will be a short picking season this year.. Think i will make the most of the Sunshine today and go out shopping...
  9. Absolutely Glorious, Beautiful Blue Cloudless Sky no wind but a tad chilly... Hope CP, Joe and the rest of the UK are enjoying the same Beautiful start to their Day..
  10. There was a little that settled overnight on Sunday followed by Flurries on Monday, glad to say all gone now, the Wind is freezing but it is still very sunny.. This Winter just seems to be dragging on forever...
  11. Beautiful Sunny Day, Windy and Freezing but hey I can live with that, the Sun is out.... How much snow did you get CP?
