After studying the long-range weather forecast we have decided to gamble a little……

The weather looks good for the coming week, and whilst we are still enjoying warm sunshine we have decided to stop picking for the day. Not, I hasten to add, so that we can pack our picnic hampers and run off to the beach, but actually because we want to give the fruit an extra day on the vine in order to reduce the acidity by just a fraction more.

Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.
