The Rocking Horse

The World biggest Rocking Horse. We visited The Rocking Horse after the cherry orchard.



How far are we from the rest of the world? I can't find Kuala Lumpur or Kuching.

Pick your own cherries

I went to the cherry orchard together with Bridger and Jeff's family during Christmas Eve. We planned to pick cockles but due to the cool change, we decided not to. The temperature is around 13 degree Celcius for the day. A very pleasant day indeed.

The Owner briefed us on the rules of his Orchard. We are allowed to eat cherry while picking it but try to limit it as it is his income. He also mentioned the correct way of picking cherry so that it will not harm the tree and the production at subsequent year. The cherry cost $6 per KG. Very cheap.

Bridger demonstrate the correct way of picking cherry.

The picked cherry. All together slightly more than 2KG.
