It's finally here....................

Well we seem to have time warped to the summer holidays, but watch how slow the next 6 weeks pass, unless you are flying off somewhere far flung with guaranteed sunshine then you can bank on those 2 weeks will zoom past.
So for those of you at home we have been compling lists of things to do over the holidays that either cost nothing or a minimal fee.
Previously we have blogged about free things like the parks and the library and have also blogged about days out at Wellington Country Park. So today lets discuss................
Fruit Picking!
I took my little ones to West Green Fruits in Hartley Wintney, its free to visit but the gems of summer growing are a plenty. We walked out with 2 very large baskets of raspberries and strawberries, though the early season strawberries are coming to the end, but the late season will be coming through soon, but there are so many other gorgeous fruits to pick, and for such a reasonable price. There are picnic tables there and there is no limited to how long you are there to pick. They sell jamming sugar too, so if you over pick you can create some tasty jam :-)
Of course West Green isnt the only pick your own farm around but its the most local to us all.
