Day Out In Bearstone Fruit Farm - Market Drayton 2020

It's the time of the year in UK for the strawberries. So we decided to visit the local fruit farm last week, which was a good decision.

There is no entry fee, you simply pick your fruits and the pay for the weight you have picked. From the stall next to the car park you can get free containers/ baskets to collect the fruits.  

There were loads of strawberries ready to pick. Vibrant, Elegance, Cupid and Symphony are the strawberry varieties they had in the farm. Out of them Cupid strawberry variety seems to be more sweeter than others. Following are some clicks I took while picking strawberries.

The cost for the strawberries were very cheap, comparing to the supermarket prices. Also Bearstone Fruit Farm have card payment facility, so it's very convenient. 

Bearstone Fruit Farm also have Raspberries, Tayberries, Blackcurrants, Blackberries but on the day we visit they had only strawberries & gooseberries only. Might visit them again in few weeks time for the Raspberries.

Please visit Bearstone Fruit Farm web site http://www.bearstonefruitfarm.co.uk/ for more details.

Road Trip Around Scotland Part 1 (Glasgow)

It was the spring of year 2014, me and few of my friends wanted to travel around Scotland. Although we have been in uk for few years, we have not ventured to the Northern part of UK.

We planned to go on the trip in Easter holiday, when there is a 4 days of holiday.
There were 6 of us going on the road trip, so we hire a 7 seater van from Afford Rent A Car company (http://www.affordrentacar.co.uk/) which had the best deals in Stoke On Trent.

On the Friday of 18th April 2014, we started our journey from Stoke On Trent around 5 am to avoid the easter holiday traffic. Our first destination was to visit a Buddhist temple in Glasgow to donate alms to the monks and getting blessing for our journey.

Below are some of snaps I taken while on road.

We had some breakfast from a motorway service area, and was eager to visit our first destination. After 250 miles journey, spending nearly 4 hours on the road we arrived at Scotland’s Buddhist Vihara in Glasgow (http://tsbv.org.uk/).

 After alms giving and pirith chanting & sermon from the Buddhist monks we were on our way towards out next destination, Fort William in Western Scottish Highlands.
