Day Out Strawberry Picking! // LIFESTYLE

























Hey guys! On Tuesday I am going up north to see family, so I'll be scheduling a post for Wednesday, hopefully it will work this time. A couple of weeks ago I went strawberry (and broad bean) picking at my local fruit farm and decided that I would bring along my camera to take some photos. This is my first lifestyle post which I've really been looking forward to it, I hope you all like it. Warning, picture heavy!



By chance, it was boiling hot that day so it was even nicer at the farm! Apart from just fruit and veg, there were some animals, including a pig that got into his water container to cool down, tried to get out and fell onto its back and some little lambs (which I stupidly forgot to get a photo of). After looking at the animals my family and I went on to the bit where you pick strawberries and broad beans!


After spending about 1-2 hours picking a LOT of strawberries and some broad beans, we went over to see if there was any fresh eggs ready in the chicken hut, but the chickens had been suffering from the heat so there were only two. Having paid, and spent quite a bit of money, we went home and started the task of eating all these amazing strawberries. 

I love fruit/vegetable picking and I go a few times a year. It is surprising how much nicer the food tastes freshly picked, rather than having sat in Sainsburys for hours on end.

Sorry if this post was a bit short, I couldn't really think of much else to write in this post! I hope it wasn't too boring. I would love to know if you would all like me to do another lifestyle post like this in the future!

Have you ever been strawberry picking?

    1. Thank you! It is really fun, although it can be a bit too much if it's really hot.
