Border Berries at Rutherford Farm Two large fields on the south side of the main farm buildings are used during the summer months as a pick your own fruit farm. The main fruits are strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, red currants and black currants. On this occasion I was picking strawberries.

Abandoned loop, Ploughlands The A699 has been straightened out leaving many loops. These are popular for farm use, like storing round bales, but also attract the dumpers. This one seems to have been left alone.  
There is a good crop of hawthorn berries for the thrushes.
