Day Zero Project - Go fruit picking

I know I keep going on about it, but I'm really enjoying working my way through my Day Zero Project list. I'm 33% of the way through it now - yes I've ticked off some of the easier ones, but I'm also finding that it is keeping me really motivated to try out lots of new things both for myself and with the family.

We've been living just down the road from Roundstone Pick Your Own Farm for years now and shamefully we've never been. We always say that we will, then before we know it we've been busy or the weather has been bad, and then the seasons have changed and it has closed for the winter. So today, even though we'd had a busy few days, we made the most of some glorious sunshine and headed over for some strawberry picking.

We've picked strawberries in our garden and on my Dad's allotment before, but this was the first time that we'd been to a large pick your own farm. It was a bit of a walk to the strawberry field but both little ones were enthralled by the fields of crops and didn't make any fuss about the walk. As soon as Mia caught on to what we were doing she was grabbing strawberries as fast as she could. Harry was a little more hesitant, checking with us first before he picked one.

It was very busy today at the weekend on a lovely day. We walked out to the furthest point and then took the tractor back down to the shop, carrying our large punnet of delicious strawberries. Now I'm thinking that I could take the children on my own during the week and find some more things to pick, it's much more fun than picking a plastic tub off the shelves at the supermarket!
