Eynsham Market Square, autumn 2011 - the setting for a community event with a difference, to prove that free food is fun.

Guidance notes for scrumping - walk on the wild side; read Helen Peacocke's report in the Oxford Times.

Damson jelly sweets, from fruit labelled 'help yourself' at the allotments last year. Jane le Galloudec says they waited in a sealed box until she got around to coating them in chocolate. "It was a very messy exercise and I don't think I'd repeat it too soon but they were certainly tasty."

Quantities of different hedgerow fruit, not all identified yet. Never eat unless you know what they are!

For one day only, Eynsham Emporium is offering a discount on all preserving materials.

Foreground: the gin awaits the sloes. Background: cordials prepared already and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

A perfect apple, picked by Jane le Galloudec on the path linking Spareacre Lane to the A40. Jane says this is a fair sized tree, probably self seeded from the old Wastie orchard, and still loaded with apples - quite tasty though the skin is a little thick. "I collected a basket full and juiced them and they were delicious."

The shapely apple candles looked lovely on the dark green cloth and attracted a lot of attention. Ros Kent says "If we'd had a crateful I think we could have sold them all!"

James set up the fruit press with confidence in his second year.

Visitors from Sustainable Stonesfield approve the result.

Working up a thirst. Did we mention the cider and perry festival at the Queen's Head this afternoon?

Candidates for next year's perry, perhaps.

Apple bobbing and similar games were a massive hit. Who needs computers?
