For people who preserve: Free crab apples (ready soon-ish)

Caroline from Berhampore

Hi everyone
I have a very prolific crab apple tree in my garden that makes boatloads of jellies etc from the single branch or two that I use. Every year I wince at the waste as the apples from whole rest of the tree fall off and rot. If anyone is keen on some crab apples - let me know. And I can ping you when they are ready to pick (your own). I am suspecting that this year they will run early.

I have a ladder but we could do with a taller one to get to the super high branches. Really easy picking.

I have made crab apple jelly, rosemary jelly, chilli jelly, apple and lavendar jelly. And used the crab apples to supplement plums etc for other jellies.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
