Strawberry Fields Forever

Its taken me a while to get these up, but here they are- photos from our trip to the strawberry fields at Palmview last Friday, the 8th July. We've seen the giant strawberry on the side of the highway pointing to the turn off many times before, but it's never really been on the top of out list of things to visit. Not until our butcher got into Johns ear about it! It's owned by his parents, and he gave it such a huge rap (of course!) that John told the kids about it, so we HAD to go! But we all had a great time. Talk about busy though! There were at least 100 people there! We went straight down to the back fields to pick our own strawberries- and at $14 a kilo, the price isn't too bad! Considering it usually costs us about $4 for a small punnet, which 1/2 of them are usually rotten anyway... These were beautiful! We spent about an hour wandering around finding the biggest, reddest, juiciest strawbs, and then took off. This place has a bit of a play area and a cafe, but we didn't even bother going up to have a look because of all the people! We did however eat over a kilo of strawberries in a couple of hours....!!
