A very busy weekend- Part 1 Saturday

Well another very busy weekend.

Saturday

Starting Saturday morning we all went Strawberry Picking, we ended up with two full baskets (4kg) of strawberries and buying some gooseberries and raspberrires.

So we dropped some off at the mother in laws house, Henry did his best to et as many as possible. We then made Strawberry tarts, and strawberry jam (this is still in process as I chose a very old fashioned way of doing it).

Then it was off to the farm shop at Hazlehead Hall farm, Penistone. Fresh crea, vegatables and meat for the BBQ, before a look at the ducks, chickens, geese, turkeys, pigs and lambs on the farm.

Then home to start work on the pond in the front garden, Rosie cleared the stones, ready for Jamie to dig.

Andy and I went to the allotment while Rosie, Susu and Henry went to feed the ducks on the village pond. Andy constructed the first of the raised beds, ready for the seedling to go into.

Jamie then started work on the pond, the top soil he removed was bagged ready to go to the allotment and into the raised bed. He did a really good job and was thrilled to find a 1937 three pence coin.

The day finished with a lovely BBQ and a water fight while watering the very dry garden.
