Today we chose fruit picking. It is something that I remember doing every year when I was little, whether this be at a fruit farm or in fields near to my grandparents house.
There are quite a few fruit farmers near to us but many have suffered this year due to the warm weather that we had been having.
Fruit picking is something that can be enjoyed by the whole family no matter the age. Today we were after strawberries, Blackberries and raspberries as these are our favourite fruit.
The first farm that we went to didn't have any strawberries but we stayed anyway to pick the raspberries. Titch loved this, trying to find the berries that weren't too ripe but also ensuring that they were ready to be picked.
After picking raspberries we decided to try a different farm as Titch was keen to pick strawberries.
Here they also had a Strawberry shortage ,but we were able to pick some. I was definitely the strawberry picking champion though, filling my tub full of larger berries where as Titch found well titchy ones.
Whilst here we also picked blackberries and tayberries which we had never tried before.
Fresh fruit on a sunny day with some ice cream and meringue was well deserved after.
