Claire Gibbons shares the story she wrote and recorded at the workshop based on memories of an orchard.

These digital stories were created by participants at a Digital story workshop held as part of The Heritage of Orchards and Cider Making in Wales project delivered by Project Associate Catrin James and Research Fellow Dr. Emily Underwood-Lee from The University of South Wales at The Small Is Beautiful Festival 2017 held at The Centre of Alternative Technology in Machynlleth SY20 9AZ. Participants were asked to write and record short stories about orchards or apple and pear related memories and were introduced to the principals of recording oral histories and stories.

This digital story was created for ‘The Heritage of Orchards and Cider Making in Wales’, a two year HLF funded project in partnership with The George Ewart Evans Centre For Storytelling at The University of South Wales and The Welsh Cider and Perry Society.
This story recorded with Claire Gibbons and edited by Project Associate Catrin James on the 10th of June 2017 at The Centre of Alternative Technology in Machynlleth SY20 9AZ.
