Description

Every day I wash dishes and look out at my beautiful apple tree. It is a Red Falstaff, bought from Bristol Permaculture 18 years ago and it produces beautiful big apples, the type the wicked witch used to poison the princess.

I look out at the apple tree but what does the apple tree look out at? What does it think? And more importantly, what does it have to say about it.

During lockdown 2 in November 2020 I recorded different conversations between the birds, the wind and the trees.

The drawings are made in all weathers and rainy days may discolour the pure white background of the paper.
