Aye, Strawberries from G. R. & P. H. Sutherland (http://www.caithness-business.co.uk/business.php?id=617) are well tasty - probably the best I've tasted.

Had some tonight. Got them in Mackay the butchers!

Lovely with the new amore natural yoghurt with dark chocolate flake in.

Yoghurt currently on offer in Frasers on Castlegreen Road.

As a bairn living on a farm in the Carse of Gowrie, you were expected to go "Berry Picking" Strawbs at first , hard work, but after a few days you sickend yourself of Strawberries, and I still hate them.
Then it was the Raspberry picking time, that was worse, thorns , berry bugs, and Rasps......I now will not put Raspberry jam in my mouth, I know what we used to do to make the Rasps Weigh so much [disgust]

I never ate enough to put me off - not for want of trying.
Bilberries too - any up here?
