PYO

DaddyHen and I went PYO –Pick Your Own; on Saturday morning; yes it rained but then it’s been raining here in England constantly since beginning of April.
We went to Hewitts Farm– it’s a vast site with lots of lovely fruit and veg.  We picked Yellow Chard, Broad Beans, Peas, Strawberries and Raspberries.  It was a little wet underfoot but had gone prepared with wellies, coats, and hats, although there was a short shower not long after we arrived it was rather nice to get out into the open air.  This past week had been very busy with work and I didn’t get much time to get away from the office.


 

With all this awful weather we’ve been having some of the fruit was just rotting – people haven’t wanted to get out in the rain to PYO; which is such a shame as the taste of the fruit is just so real; like you remember from years ago before the polytunnel.


 
In a month or so the apples will be ready – the trees were just laden with fruit.

 
In an adjacent field was a mare with her delightful foal
