Now my skills at finding places are legendary. I have the world's worst sense of direction. All street signs were rendered useless yesterday as the trees have grown so tall they are covering every single blinking road sign. We got so lost. So very, very lost. Someone appeared to have moved the A1 (that's a very big road in case you don't know) and hidden most of the little roads too. Whoever would have thought that so many teeny weeny roads existed in Peterborough. I think we found every one.

There were lots of other fruits too, raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants. We had a great time, and got so very sticky (well done mum for suggesting taking a bottle of soapy water).

It is now at crisis point though. I have used my last jam jar. Mind you, as I have now run out of places to store said jam, that's not such a bad thing is it?
Come back tomorrow for a cake picture - it's been a tough one this time.

Wow! You got loads of fruit there Michaela - I expect you had to pick lots to make the petrol worth while! I have no sense of direction either!
Looking forward to seeing the cake!

Yum. I made strawberry jam from strawberries I picked myself a couple of weeks ago. I love seeing the jams on the shelf, don't you? Peaches and blueberries are ripe in my area right now. Oh, and I love all the pictures of your cakes.
Well done with all that fruit picking. Raspberries I love. Strawberry picking is a bit hard on the back!
Can't wait to see the cake picture. My direction challenged siter-in-law got her best ever birthday gift - a satnav!
My offer stands on returning your jam jar.
That looks like time well spent! The abundant strawberries are a fantasy ...last week it took me an hour to pick slightly less than 2 quarts! One berry *here*...another waaaay over *there*....
The weather has been terribly wet in new England this summer. I was lucky to get any berries at all :)
Fantastic fruity loveliness Michaela - well worth the round trip!
I can feel some more fruit picking coming on after seeing that photo.
I, for one, am never ever tired of seeing your jars of jam :)
