An adventure to Strawberry Fields farm shop @ Chollacott House

/in

We had a lovely trip to Strawberry Fields Farm shop to visit their pumpkin patch and choose our pumpkins for carving. We were even lucky enough to have a second trip to Strawberry Fields and we had Rachal the activities co-ordinator from Dove Tree visiting us on that day so we were delighted to take her with us and show her what fun we have when we are out and about on the Wanderer. Pumpkin carving is a very tactile activity which everyone immersed themselves in and were delighted with their achievements.
