Thanks to the people who let me know that we were ranked 13th in the Guardian's poll of the top 100 pick your own farms in the country, have not managed to read the report yet, but hopefully it was a good one and we were happy to get so highly rated. We were not able to get hold of a copy as we were out at a family wedding, a couple of people I think are keeping hold of a copy for us.
While we are still wet here Somerset has, so far, escaped the worst of the rain and there has been little flooding locally. Sadly for some of the country the rain has caused unbelievable floods; while we may have had some of our crops ruined we have not got a house full of water or fields
One sliver of silver in the clouds for us this year is the blackberries, these are cultured plants not the hedgerow variety, same taste bigger berries, less thorns, everyone is a winner. Just a shame we only have a couple of rows.
In addition mum's wild flower corner is finally showing life even if only from the cornflowers and the daisys.
