We arrived at Lyne Farm at around 11am and in good time and we were met by the owner Mark Catlin (and his over excited dog Jack!), who proceeded to tell us what he had in store for us to do that day. After all, making cider is reason enough to make this exception this once! That’s definitely a winning combination to wake you up in the morning! So the cider bus left for Herefordshire and with everyone there on time, which is especially surprising given it was a Saturday morning! We all felt we were slightly crazy being up this early, but it was for a good cause. That was a good start to the day, which got even greater when we were invited to a shot of cider brandy to top that off.
Well we had to be there for 10am, but I will always try and be early for these things as I don’t want them driving off without me! Upon arriving at the shop, I was greeted by Pete & Nick and a lovely cup of coffee. The day started bright and breezy at a grand old time of 9:30am.
After previously having been on a cider making course run by Peter Mitchell (Cider Academy), this was not a new experience for me, but I was just seeing how things would compare. Having read in the latest Bristol Cider Shop newsletter about the launch of their cider making day trips to Herefordshire, I thought I would pop on down and see what it was all about with my friend Emily (from Bristol Bites fame).
