I share my apples with this hare 🐰

For the last two weeks I have been picking up apples off the ground each morning and adding them to my smoothie. It has been a real pleasure consuming them in the knowledge they have been grown naturally and are not waxed like the mass produced apples.

Just yesterday I noticed a hare having a nibble on one of them and was excited to photograph him. Had no idea they ate apples!

Hares are more solitary creatures than rabbits, distinguishable by the way they jump and the black tips on their ears.

Here are the two apple trees outside my current home.

And here is the evidence of hare munching!

I felt a sense of satisfaction sharing them with the local animals because you can be sure I am the only human around here who is eating them. The three other men I live with don't seem to eat fruit. Which is weird considering these apple trees are directly outside their home! Sadly, like most of the people I have encountered here in the UK they can only be described as zombies and my conversations with them last no longer than 30 seconds.

The lack of waxy outer layer means that insects can penetrate the skin.

When the holes get big enough wasps and flies will come and feast on them.

Typically there are just some little worm holes in the apples which have fallen to the ground and I have to spend a moment with each one cutting out the poop they leave behind. The worms themselves don't appear to be inside the apples. Perhaps they are the larvae of an insect and have already flown away?

Regardless, there are many new apples available each day and cutting a little bit out of them is no big deal.

Here they are cut up and in the blender, ready to add the rest...

et voila ;)

I also add flax, sunflower and sesame seeds along with any herbal supplements I have. Which is currently jiaogulan, amalaki, moringa & noni.

My smoothie is my lunch. Around 3-4 pints of pure fruit & goodness.

It is incredible how full I feel!

Normally I would share this quantity with my family.

Alas, for now they are in France and I am in England.

Just 5 more weeks and my job will be done...

...shooting the construction of the UK's most advanced solar farm.
