Luckily for our backs, we didn't have to crawl along the rows of fruit bushes like I've done at previous pick your owns, the strawberry bushes are planted in raised beds.
My sunglasses are from ASOS and my dress is a really light floaty one which was perfect in the heat, from River Island.
Strawberries are by far my favourite fruit, and it's safe to say that between the two of us we filled up on at least a kilo whilst picking away.
And so, so scrummy! (I'm snaffling as I type.)
At last we filled both punnets (and our tummies), and headed to the shop to weigh and pay, the farm was quite quiet due to the fact that the school holidays hadn't started so we nearly had the place to ourselves, but one downside we found was that the pricing wasn't obvious and we happily filled up our punnets without realising it was £4.50 a kg, whoops!!
mmm yummy! You two look lovely. So jealous, would much rather be strawberry picking right now!

Thanks Katie! X
DeleteOoh, this looks like sooo much fun to do! I don't think it exists here in Belgium. Maybe it's better that way, I would probably come out sick of eating too many strawberries during picking.
ReplyDeleteMade your biscotti by the way, it was delicious, everyone loved it! If you'd like, you can read it on my blog: http://littlegreensofie.blogspot.be/2013/07/birthday-biscotti.html
Love,

I ate most of them and thankfully I still love them!!
DeleteAh that's made me very happy Sofie! Just read it xx
Umm... Not one word, but two.
ReplyDeleteNot just "yumm". But "MEGA YUMMM!!"
I could literally live off strawberries and PIY is by far heaven on earth.
Lovely post, and adore the blue dress!

DeleteThat is just so lovely! One of my good friends just went strawberry picking for her birthday and it just sounds so sweet =)
ReplyDeleteI would've completely overfilled mine as well. Hopefully you haven't had a strawberry overdose by now!

DeleteThis looks like such fun! So lovely to be able to pick your own too, even if it comes with a bit of a price tag- worth it! I made a little order on ASOS earlier this week and have just received the parcel - one of the dresses being the one you are wearing here- looks gorgeous on you so I hope it suits me too!
