Little Treat…….

Robin was starting to suffer from Cabin Fever with staying home recuperating from his knee replacement operation.  So I suggested a drive up the road to Lewis Farms.  Asparagus season had just started so we were keen to get some.  After all, there is nothing nicer than fresh asparagus, is there.  As well, they grow strawberries, raspberries, make jam and ice-cream with their fruit, serve coffee, and also sell a range of other local products.  We hadn't been to the shop since last season, and what a difference we noticed.  The shop fittings have been moved around and rearranged, and it all seems so much more roomy.

Inside the shop

In the pack-house the machines were moving through their paces and the staff were hard at work.  The asparagus season started just a few weeks ago, I was told.

It’s all happening here

With our purchases made, asparagus, local keto crackers, and locally produced ham, we went and sat outside to sit and eat our goodies.  Ice-cream for Robin and a coffee for me.  It was nice and warm in the sunshine, but once the sun went behind the clouds, definitely a little chilly.  Our Spring weather is rather like that, always rather temperamental, Mother Nature just can’t seem to make up her mind.

That ice-cream is almost finished

That was a nice little treat for us both, a little drive, buying fresh local produce, and Robin really enjoyed his mixed berry ice-cream in the fresh air.  Then it was home for lunch.  And……. we will be enjoying asparagus and cheese sauce tonight with our dinner.
