I love lazy Sundays

I found some left over antibiotics from a previously unfinished course (and I don’t need anyone to tell me how WRONG that is on oh so many levels, but I was desperate!) and am feeling a bit better today after one dose. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

After our usual rushed morning (but what is a morning at the Tasmiya household without a ridiculous sense of urgency) we set off in grand style our car toward the Strawberry Farm. I don’t have many words to add only that we all had such a great time and nobody is remotely sick of strawberries. And who knew strawberries were so plump and firm – the ones we get at the supermarket are always squished and mushy.

Edited to add: SIL and her family joined us and the company was just grand. The children played so well together in the playground attached to the farm, we picnicked on strawberries (what else?), strawberry cupcakes and coffee. The weather was blissful -not a cloud in the sky and her girls were fast asleep in the car only  minutes after leaving the farm.  Success!

Pics – enjoy!
