June 23rd- A visit to Durleighmarsh Farm

Again we were exceptionally lucky with the weather- the rain finally gave up and we had a beautiful sunny evening for our visit to Durleighmarsh.
Alison Granger was fantastic and taught us all about food miles and the benefits of buying local produce.
Armed with knowledge and an appetite, we all ventured out into the fields to pick fruit.


                                      
 
                                      




The girls were given a small punnet each to fill with allsorts- gooseberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries, Tayberries and good old strawbs! There were some adventurous brownies in the pack who were trying some fruit for the first time, and loved it! Well done!
What a fantastic time we all had.

  1. Thank you to the parents ( and grandparent !) who helped out on Thursday - we just can't do these fun activities without you....
