Ewan Dale has one of the best jobs in Sylvania. He looks after the orchards and it is his responsibility to keep the grass short, the weeds in
control and the fruit trees as healthy as possible.
His sweet Victoria plums, crisp Cox's pippins and juicy Morello cherries are his pride and
joy, especially when his wife puts them in one of her mouthwatering pies, preserves or puddings. He simply can't get enough of his wife's home
cooking and once he ate Apple Crumble, Cherry Cobbler and Plum Pudding in one sitting. His wife made him run around the orchard three times to
burn off all those extra calories!

Mother Barbara Dale is the real fruit expert in the Dale family
She helps her husband look after the trees in the orchards and is often there
from dawn 'til dusk testing the soil, watering the roots and pruning the branches. All her hard work pays off in the summer and autumn when it's
finally time to harvest the ripe fruit. She loves it when the school children come along to help and often holds competitions to make it more
fun for everyone. There is usually a freshly-baked pie for whoever picks the most cherries and a jar of home-made jam for the child lucky enough
to find the largest apple. Her husband tried to win a prize this year, but she told him he was far too old and that would be cheating!

Brother Winton Dale likes nothing better than helping his mother and father in the orchards. He can often be found cutting the grass after school
or trimming the hedges at weekends. But his favourite job is looking after the bonfire as he knows the more twigs, leaves and rotten fruit he rakes
up, the bigger the bonfire will be! He takes his work very seriously though and never leaves one of his fires unattended. He knows that if the
flames get out of control, Harry Spotter will mistake his bonfire for a forest fire and throw a bucket of water all over it!

Sister Iona Dale has also been given one of the most important jobs in the orchard. She has to collect all the different kinds of fruit and sort
them into different baskets before they go off to market. She has learnt precisely when a plum is ripe for picking and knows exactly when a cherry
is past its best, and she has also become quite an expert at telling her Granny Smiths from her Golden Delicious! She much prefers this part-time
job than going to school because she can snack on as much fruit as she wants and there are no teachers around to tell her she's had quite enough
