Cherry Pleasures

Picking fruit can be very satisfying, but picking cherries - big, fat, glossy, dark red, juicy cherries - is wonderful. Partly is it the sheer abundance of cherries dripping down the branches to meet you. But oh - the ease of standing at your full height, in dappled shade provided by the trees themselves; much more comfortable than crouching and bending in an open strawberry field, being frazzled by the sun.

Certainly, it is a real pleasure to go to the Cherry Orchard (31 South Road) in Great Abington and pick your own. You are issued with a bucket, and a crooked stick for pulling the branches towards you, and away you go. All for £4 a kilo, or £5 ready- picked.

Farmers Markets Update

The odd drop of sunshine and certainly the daffodils (on the Farmers Markets from Fen Flora, Wisbech) are joyful sightings and remind us that we are emerging from these last long months of snow, rain and sleet, and we are predicted a barbecue summer as we were last year!
