BBC Radio Shropshire at Apley Farm Shop

BBC Shropshire’s Ian Perry interviewing Gavin (Lord Hamilton)

People just don’t realise how much effort goes in nor how much heavy lifting there is!

Ian Perry of BBC Radio Shropshire dropped in on Thursday morning to talk to Gavin & me about the Spookley Pumpkin Festival (which continues until Wed 31 Oct 5pm) as well as developments on the Apley Estate since arriving nearly 13 years ago in 2006.

To listen again, click HERE. I talked about pumpkins from 1:53:18 to 1:56:07 then Gavin talked about the estate 2:42:28 to 2.48:35.

Here are some super photos by A Decent Exposure Photography of more pumpkins arriving today (we’re not growing our own this year – they’re still very local, from a farm near Shrewsbury).
