As the glorious weather continues to shine down on sunny Bournemouth the girls and I have been making the most our weekends together and getting outside! We headed over to Sopley Farm for our annual berry pick and this year we were happy to see we had made it just in time to find a ton of deliciously juicy strawberries ready to pick. Last year we went at the completely wrong time and all the strawberries were a rather disappointing shade of green! The girls grabbed their baskets (one each of corse they couldn’t possibly share) and we set about filling…
