Not All Bad News

North Yorkshire's apple and cider orchards have bumper 2020 harvest.

Growers said the persistent high pressure and 215.8 hours of sunshine recorded between April 1 and April 27 produced conditions in which bees have been more active and with few gusts to blow blossom from the trees, flowers have had longer to be pollinated.

That's interesting, although I am completely teetotal I do have the occasional cider, probably one drink every couple of years and usually pear cider. Perhaps I will make it two drinks and give apple cider a try:
