It was Apple Day in Wormingford, Essex.
You had to get some apples – take them along to the Community Education Centre in Wormingford where you, or somebody, cut them into quarters, then they went through a coarse chopper,
then into a big old press which liquidized them, and then eventually you had a bottle or two apple juice. Best to take your own bottles.
The word was that you only had 24 hours to drink the juice before it went off so a little cocktail-making was obviously required.
To be honest with you, apple juice and whisky (seen above) wasn’t all that great a combination - you could taste both the apple juice and the whisky but they never really combined and melded, a bit like Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler in the movie The Bounty Hunter.
And then we tried apple juice with vodka which of course was just fine because most things are OK when they’ve got vodka in them.
I think I shall call this the Nick and Kylie – as in Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue – the ingredients are both OK, you’re not quite sure what they’re doing together, but the end result is a winner.
