Apple Day 2013!

This Saturday (just gone) was the second, yearly celebration of Apple Day in the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter.

Bristol Cider Shop provided the apple rolling hilarity and we did some silly games with peoples faces and that.  Normal service then.

Here's some pics!

Guess these famous Adam's by their Adam's APPLE only! Can you?
Children amass for the first round of Apple Rolling
