You surely know already, but I've now told all my blog readers about the work of Apple Sommelier @chuckwendig.bsky.social:

Apples on the Web: Chuck Wendig
Chuck's blog gives him scope to really geek out about apples. You can geek out with him watching the linked videos of his apple tastings.

An annual ritual for me: incorporating the apple varieties new to me last year into my "three-star" rating system.

Hear him! and put your creative stuff on your on site outside of social media.

This is where I remind folks once again that my personal site and Whatever, my blog, have been around longer than at least three and probably four generations of social media. Having your own space that only you control is a good thing, especially in an age of resurgent fascism.

Neighborly apples
I don't eat half of these apple varieites half as often as I should like, and I like less than half of them half as well as they deserve.

My new years post, which will not make sense to everyone, is that it is better to be on social media with a blog than without.

Blog space is a place for me to stand outside the algos and vicissitudes of corporate social.

Sure bsky is pretty chill and I love you all but this place isn't mine.

There is a long tradition of using apples as Xmas decorations stemming from medieval Paradise Plays where they symbolised the forbidden fruit Paradise trees often fir morphed Xmas trees in UK when Prince Albert introduced German Christmas traditions. The apples morphed into Christmas decorations.

Not yet calendar winter, astro winter, but definitely pomological winter, orchard winter already.

Orchards are full of winter #folklore and traditions that are great to share at this time of year. Find out more about some of Franki's favourites in our latest blog: www.theorchardproject.org.uk/blog/winter-...
