Stealing Apples from Nuns Orchard

Montage of Feck · 2020-08-12 20:38:41

A very old-school and now strange crime in Cobh where apples were stolen from the orchard of some contemplative nuns. Could the oft lemented act, of thieving from orchards, of older generations be making a comeback?

I came here to use the word "scrumping". One of my favourite words, and not often that it's relevant.

Perhaps we could each make a small donation.

They make chutney with the apples.

Perhaps we could make a larger donation so that they could make cider

Don't go stealing pears, like St Augustine you might regret it for the rest of your life
