Do you like apples?

A week or two ago, one of my coworkers brought in a bag of apples that were obviously from an apple tree and not a store. They were delicious. Turns out that there are a couple of apple trees in the hospital grounds that I did not know about. They have been a regular feature of my lunch ever since. I don't even have to carry them in, and they taste great.

That same coworker told me about more apple trees a couple miles down the road that are in a common. He said he gets a kick out of watching people coming out of ASDA (right next to the common) with the bags of apples that they just bought when they could have gotten apples for free just a few hundred feet away. I suspect that it doesn't occur to them, as we are trained be dependent on the supermarket. I know I never thought to look for apple trees in the hospital grounds and I have worked there for more than five and a half years now... Ah! maybe the apples are a long service award.
