	Pictures of Gloucestershire
		Gloucestershire is a fair county, she extends her borders amongst some of England's finest Cotswold towns and villages, across a landscape that changes almost imperceptibly as you travel her modern highways and ancient by-ways.
		Slipping westwards, Gloucestershire's borders enfold the beautiful Forest of Dean where restored Steam trains take you on a magical journey deep into the secret shaded bowers of a forest which was once the hunting ground of kings.
		In this part of Gloucestershire there are isolated hamlets along the rivers Windrush, Coln and Leach, at this point it is worth leaving your car to explore on foot, for here, off the beaten track there is always something fresh and special to be seen.

	Minchew's Real Cyder & Perry : History
		Factory cider became the norm as many farms lost their laborers and fruit was sold to merchants who delivered it to large-scale makers.
		Cider had always been cheaper than beer and as a poor apprentice it was my first choice.
		Each of these cider houses had its own unique brew and it was possible to visit the Yew Tree in Conderton, for Lanchbury's, Elmley Castle, and the Monkey House for a final half or even a pint before winding one's way home, very merry but with change in one's pocket.

	Mainstream Cidermaking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		French ciders are characterised by sweeter, tannic and apple-like flavours, whereas German ciders are relatively dry and acidic to an English palate.
		In French cider making where the primary fermentation is very slow, the malo-lactic change may occur concurrently with the yeast fermentation, whereas in UK cider-making it is most likely to occur once the yeast fermentation has finished and the cider is in bulk store (Drilleau 1992).

	Cider House
		Sweet cider tends to be popular with young people, and is often the drink of choice for teenagers in the UK (along with alcopops; Snakebite).
		I thought one or more of you might want to have a look at this article about the definition of cider: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_048.html Cecil Adams is generally pretty good at this sort of stuff, and the tale of his trying to track down the exact meaning of "cider" in the US is entertaining if nothing else.
		Cider is generally unfiltered, but I have had filtered cider, and I have had unfiltered apple juice.

	Cider with Rosie (Vintage Classics) Book at Shop Ireland
		"Cider with Rosie" is the first, detailing his childhood from the time he moves into his Gloucestershire visit to just before he leaves to seek his fortune.
		Apart from the quality of the writing, "Cider with Rosie" should be read for the poetic descriptions of an England with few motorcars "where the horse was still king", agricultural communities that were able to function independently and hardly any interference from "the outside world".
		Cider with Rosie (the first in Laurie Lee's autobiographical trilogy) is vibrant, beautiful and endearing.
