The village apple tree has a heavy load this year.

This tree stands in the grounds of the village hall. It has been there for as long as I can remember. We climbed the tree as kids and stole the apples from it. Kids still do that, although these days they use the apples as weapons. My son once had concussion from an apple being launched at his head, an apple from this very tree. It is right next to the school, so prime picking spot for kids.
Nobody cares for the tree and as far as I know, the apples are left for the birds.

It is a beautiful tree, the rush of memories that came back to me this morning, as I stood looking at the bounty of apples growing, I'm filled with a strange mixture of both joy and sadness.
