Sad news from the newspapers today, An award-winning strawberry farm has been forced to close down its pick-your-own fields after 40 years because its insurance company is demanding handrails are installed on drainage ditches and cordons placed around potholes.
I remember going to the fields and enjoying a PYO session, getting out in the fresh air and having fun with the family.
Whilst we often complain about political correctness or health and safety ‘gone mad’, it is more a sad event that families can not go out together and pick some of their own fruit. And whilst we live in a ‘must have now’ society, our last few family ‘days out’ are being spoilt, I don’t think family trips to Sainsbury’s are quite as fun, they have proved rather more stressful before.
