berry picking

This morning I was out in the rain picking raspberries for breakfast, and this afternoon I was out in the sunshine picking raspberries for supper. One of the pleasures of summer.

Tomorrow Sarah starts her new job on an organic berry farm in Hokkaido, picking blueberries and raspberries and waitressing in the restaurant, through the WOOF scheme. I hope she has a good time.

I remember a summer spent berry picking with my brother near Blairgowrie. The weather was hot, we were paid a pittance, and I ate a lot of strawberries.

Happy days!
