ok mainly aimed at the SA guys : as mentioned nearly 12 months ago I was going to check this out this yr in SA. last yr a large number of nashie pears went to waste (as in Many Many tons) . So if I find a similar situation when I get back there hands up who's interested in travelling to the Cadell district for some fruit picking and very cheap pears.
I the idea I had was we all chuck in and maybe get a bin (about5ftx 5 ft x 4 ft high) or so then ppl can either make Perry or brandy or both :D . If a few are interested I'll look into this. the bother in law is getting my old still so I thought I could go home with the low wines and maybe some perry ;-)
