Hello Readers... Welcome to the October edition of the Ledbury Focus. Having lived most of my life in Africa, one of the things I enjoy so much about living in England is the change of seasons. Autumn is the time of year when all the fruit is about – the apples on the front cover were on a neighbour’s tree - the fruit farms in the area are all advertising ‘Pick Your Own’ and the hedges along the roads nearby are full of blackberries. For some reason though, our grapes didn’t do so well, but the crab-apple tree looks like having a bumper crop this year. Time to get the jars out and start making jam!

This is generally a bit of harmless fun, but it can get out of hand, so parents do make sure your children follow the rules and don’t make a nuisance of themselves, particularly with older residents. It’s also a good idea to make sure children go out in groups (for their own protection) and small children should be supervised. That said, have fun, and enjoy all the sweets and treats.
