Today, we went to one of the local pick-your-own farms, spent about an hour there, and collected enough raspberries and strawberries to make up more than 12lb of jam, for the princely amount of £15.

Yes, the fruit in our own patch will cost even less, but that won’t mature ’til next year, I suspect. It’s getting there, and we’ve got some small fruits on the stuff there, but these things take time.  The PYO place was fantastically stocked, and you can be sure we’ll be going back there for more this year.

We’ve still got some fruit spare as well, so that’s going in some puds for the week. Can’t be bad.
