coming full circle...peter appletree

I was once a farmworker's son and I studied botany at University and kept bees and gardened and fell once again in love with nature....then I earned a living as a teacher....now as I approach retirement from a life of struggling with the disenchanted I reach to complete the circle and my dream is to plant apple trees...and in doing so earn myself a little ale money as well as make a contribution to the real world..not the world of cars and dozers and tarmac and people so busy looking into techno screens that the flight of a bumble bee or the courtship dance of a sparrow goes unnoticed....

I have spent the day in part researching the genetics of apple varieties....
