It's just an apple tree

Wrong. Sir Isaac Newton's famous apple tree

Thursday 6th August 2015

Down to Lincolnshire today and a visit to Woolsthorpe Manor near Grantham. This was the birth place and home of Sir Isaac Newton when he was a young lad. The apple tree above, is not any old apple tree, this is the very 'Flower of Kent' apple tree, from which the apple fell and helped Isaac with his theory of gravity, way back in the 1680's.
Today, the National Trust look after the house. I have to say that the Science Discovery Centre there, with its practical hands on demonstrations of Newtons Laws of motion and theories of light, is brilliant. The image today had to relate to Newton and of course the apple tree. Yes, there are some apples on the tree.
