Wild flowers from seeds that J sowed in the early spring

Ripe raspberries- mum’s favourite soft fruit

So many blackcurrants to pick today

And red dessert gooseberries

Kids and gooseberries

I saw these adorable Saanen kids on a neighbour’s farm. Great time wasters and so pretty and affectionate

Back at The Gables it was time to don my leather gauntlets and pick gooseberries

A friend is coming over later to collect some punnets
