Hi Hannes,

We can only hope my friend, but we should always keep our thoughts positive and realize that it is no longer in our hands what the outcome might be.

Oh, okay, then she is doing the right thing.

Hail, is the frightening thing here as if the fruits have marks on them it cannot be exported.
We used to love the fresh taste of an apple that we plucked from at tree at harvest time and Marian used to make us apple pie with fresh cream on the apple farm.
It is a multi million intensive farming business and the farmers watch the weather like hawks lol.

I used to love to sit down with a friend that owns one of the biggest apple farms. He is a 5th generation farmer meaning that grandfather, great grandfather, great-great grandfather etcetera owned and farmed the same farm. So this guy went to the agricultural university and after that he returned to the farm for the rest of his life.
His stories comparing an apple tree with life will keep you spell bound for hours lol.

Cheers and thanks!
