Today Carl and I took Bertie to pick berries in the Craigies Farm in South Queensferry, just a short distance from Edinburgh. Bertie is still too young to walk and pick his own berries so Carl was carrying him all the way. Craigies Farm is the most family-friendly pick-your-own farm we have ever been to. There is a shop, a restaurant and a play park. Children can also visit the chicken and other animals. You can even collect your own eggs! We had a very lovely afternoon.
Apart from the usual we have decided to give this hand-made Chilli Jam a try. It tastes wonderful on a cheese sandwich! It is not spicy at all but it does have a sweet kick of the chillies.
We are looking forward to revisiting them when the cherries are ready to pick. Hope that won’t take long!
