I\u2019m very worried that Mum and Dad are looking at the wrong type of fruit. When we all move house, they\u2019ve got it into their heads that they want to make cider. Cider apples aren\u2019t ones I\u2019m going to be as happy to eat straight from the tree and I\u2019m guessing they won\u2019t want me drinking the finished product. I love helping myself to the eating apples, especially when I\u2019m on a diet. Obviously I want Mum to plant a green gauge tree again. I\u2019m the only one who eats those, so I get them all to myself. Ari is asking for another blackberry and Shadow just wants more duck poo. That could of course be why she\u2019s got a funny tummy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dad does not do anything by half measures. Mind you, neither does Mum. The whole cider thing was her idea as something he could do when he decides to retire. It is now becoming an all consuming passion which could be a good thing from our point of view. It\u2019s going to mean a lot of time outdoors and that\u2019s something we can all buy into. Dad\u2019s reading up on the best trees to use and we are all in favour of trees. Ari likes them for peeing. I like them for chasing squirrels. I think Shadow likes trees but it\u2019s hard to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every house Mum has owned the first thing she has planted has been a cherry tree. She sometimes wonders if she could go and check they are all still there. She\u2019s already planning what she plant and we haven\u2019t even sold our house yet or bought one to move to. At least it is making the idea of moving sound fun to all of us. Now we just have to be patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
