So the lack of April showers that we have been enjoying with trips to the park and picnics has apparently adversely affected the stawberry crops - we picked a grand total of ten nearly ripe strawberries (well 13 if you count the ones DS ate on the way). PYO bit of a failure, but DS had lots of fun in the fresh air.
The Stanhill Farm Shop was lovely and we bought some nice fresh bread and doughnuts as well as some fruit and veg. A bit miffed that the apples were from New Zealand though ...
Dennis of Bexley (our favourite butcher), as always, had plenty to offer, but very pricey. We limited ourselves to some minced Scottish beef, pork and caramelised onion sausages and minced beef and onion pies (the latter made on site) and spent twice as much as we would have on Ocado. From experience it will taste much nicer though.
Looking forward to our first delivery of veg from Stanhill on Wednesday evening.
