Long lasting

Had to go to the shed and a wonderful smell of apples tickled my nostrils.  I had forgotten I still had some in there.  Given to me by a friend, picked from his tree in the garden.  They can be eaten or cooked and fine both ways.
Just about to peel some, when the said friend rang me to say he still had plenty in his garage, far too much for his needs, so he is going to pop a bag over.  At this rate I will still be eating them when the tree comes into blossom ready for the next harvest
