The lupin are in full bloom now so down to the river we went to enjoy their purple, pink and white glory.
One of the mothers squealed with delight when she found tonnes of ripe wild strawberries. We all immediately joined her in picking.
Tomohiro folded large bog rhubarb (fuki) leaves into cups so that we had something to hold our sweet smelling gems.
I made wild strawberry rhubarb jam with the berries. We'll all get to have a taste of this sweet/tart treat at the summer barbecue we're having this Saturday.
Finding berries, making jam, tasting and celebrating...these simple luxuries really do make us smile.
