I think everybody loves spring! The weather is lovely generally (even though it is not always the case here in the UK because it's cloudy and raining most of the time*sigh*), fruits are riping and flowers are blossoming. One of our favourite activities besides having picnic in park around London, we'd also love to go for fruit picking. I think the fruit picking season begins with berries especially strawberry and raspberry and then in July normally the apple are gonna start to ripe.
About a week ago we went for strawberry picking in Millet Farm Centre in Oxfordshire. So that particular weekend I rented a car because that farm is only about 1.5 hours drive from our home, perfect for day trip. We got up early and packed up some food. The kids were excited especially Adam (of course!). We were not that lucky that day because the weather was not that good, cloudy most of the day and raining once in a while. But that did not stop us from enjoying our time there.
Millet Farm Centre is located in a big area in Frilford in Oxfordshire. It has extensive range of facilities such as farm zoo, fishing pond, playground, garden centre, craft gallery and restaurant which make it a perfect family weekend getaway. Oh the car park is also free! =D

This is how the strawberry farm looks like.
Adam knows well which strawberry to be picked out, the "nyummy"licious radiant red berries!
We stopped by at the farm shop to buy some fresh fruits and organic products before going back home.
Alhamdulillah, we had great fun together. At the end of the day, we managed to bring back 2 full boxes of strawberries. Actually there were 3 but it was just so hard for us especially the kids to resist the delicious and fresh strawberries, so we ate 1 box during the picking activities...hehe...We will definitely come back here again for the apple picking season, most probably next month. Weehoo!
