Local Community Farm

  Offered our unskilled labour at the local community farm .
 Lots of fun weeding raspberries, herding sheep and visiting  a small preserves company  next door.

 Came back with a bouquet pretty gladiolas and lots of courgettes ( our unexpected reward).
Ragout for dinner, tomorrow and probably some courgettes bread too.
