1:03:01
I collect them
so that they don't go to waste,
1:03:04
and I share them out,
1:03:07
we stew them or whatever.
1:03:10
I want to pick them because
there're lots left as you can see.
1:03:15
I don't take damaged ones,
1:03:17
because my children
are very particular.
1:03:20
They're used to getting the best.
1:03:24
This one is damaged
so I chuck it away.
1:03:27
We gleaners also discard some fruit.
1:03:32
Here's an apple
which has got nothing going for it,
1:03:35
it's like an ugly and stupid woman.
1:03:38
It's small and sunburnt.
1:03:41
Commercial value: zero.
1:03:45
We can't prevent people
1:03:48
from providing themselves
with apples
1:03:52
once we have finished harvesting.
1:03:54
So we proclaim
an official gleaning period,
1:03:57
we take car registrations down,
1:04:00
if it's a moped,
we ask for a Xerox of the owner's I D
1:04:04
and we tell them from when to when
they can come and collect.
1:04:09
Isn't it a bit over-regulated?
1:04:12
Well, it's either that
or nothing at all.
1:04:17
Once people are registered,
1:04:20
they can take 400 pounds, I don't
mind, even if it's a whole lot.
1:04:25
Good for them.
1:04:27
In this field of 3 hectares,
1:04:30
at least 1 0 tons
will be left unpicked.
1:04:34
That gives the gleaners
quite a lot of exercise.
1:04:41
You have to find them
behind the trees, under the leaves.
1:04:44
It takes a while
to fill up a basket.
1:04:47
Picking is not a piece of cake,
it's hard work.
1:04:58
Quite a few have fallen here.
