Rachel and Yvette both got on their bikes to join the Abundance project on an unseasonal sunny afternoon in Sheffield. 🌞

We were admitted to the largest, most beautifully manicured private garden I've ever seen to help harvest an apple tree. Unfortunately virtually all had fallen since it was initially visited last week, so they were mostly a little bruised or damaged on the ground. The insects were loving it, some beautiful butterflies in particular! 🦋

We sorted the still edible from the past it. The inedible were taken to the compost heap and the usable will be distributed to food waste charities to be cooked up into pies and crumbles. Before we left, we weighed our haul with the snazzy new scale and chatted about hopefully setting up a Monday night group run. In total we got about 32kg of seconds to go to good causes! 🍏⚖️🍎
