Sunday 1 May - We returned to Somerset to celebrate the Apple Blossom Festival with Orchard Pig. We went last year and had such a nice time that we decided to visit again this year. On arrival we were greeted by a large Old Spot Sow and her piglets. They entertained us for awhile before we headed to the main activity area. I stocked up on some plants from a local nursery and also got some local Somerset honey. Then it was off to explore the orchards. This year some of the larger trees were in full bloom creating enchanting aisles frothy with pink blossoms. As before, my favorite part of the orchards is the old orchard with large old trees and sheep. The orchard is based on biodiversity, the grass between the trees is allowed to grow long and the sheep naturally mow it. Lunch was a delicious hog roast with some Orchard pig cider and dessert was a lovely ice cream cone. Then it was on the road and back to Bristol
