Phoenix from the Flames

On Friday night the press decided it didn't like the pressure so decided to split.
Not to be cowed by this set-back an armada of information technology and financial services know-how did sally forth into Paddock with one purpose in mind..... to rebuild the press to be better than ever before.
Some key modifications where made, some dreamt up in a haze of Leeds' finest lager and planned out on the back of a fag packet.
Elastic band, scramblers, guttering and boundary rope were considered in this task.
After many a gallon of tea and much head scratching, not to mention the teeth-sucking, we decided just to make it bigger.
Can't wait to get it going, pictures will follow.
Thanks to Andy and Tony for sterling work.

An evening's Pressing

My friend Steve and I collected over a hundred weight of apples over the weekend which now needed converting into juice. Had a good evenings pressing, a good yield achieved. A piece of titanium 4 inches by 4 inches improved the conversion of power from the press. Some further modifications required to stop the press falling apart. Still lots of apples left from the weekend's scrumping still to press.
