Picking Strawberries at Craigie's Farm

What a glorious day we had here - the sun shone so brightly and the breeze was warm. We don't often get days like this even in summer so we really make the most of them and spend as much time outside as possible. After a lovely walk in the morning with the Fur boy we headed out to Craigie's Farm to pick strawberries. The view from the farm is wonderful, looking across to the Firth of Forth

There are my two boys heading off to find strawberries!

I sat at 'Ambers Canine Cafe' with the Fur boy, enjoying the sun.

And then a walk in the woods nearby. It was cool and fresh feeling and there wasn't another soul around, just me and the dog under the green canopy. Bliss.

After an ice cream with the boys we headed back home to enjoy the spoils, with more ice cream!

Craigie's Farm is a lovely place to visit with children, or with a friend for a coffee. The cafe is full of gorgeous food and fresh vegetables and fruit to buy, as well as all the usual goodies you find in a great farm shop. It's only a few minutes drive out of the city but the surrounding countryside makes you feel you have driven for hours to get far away.
