a berry good boxing day

As usual, things got a little hectic before Christmas, and one of the things that fell off our list was berry picking, so we set off to do that today. We’d seen signs for pick-your-own places between Nelson and Motueka, and the one that was open on Boxing Day was Not The Biggest, But The Best. Haven’t tried any others here, but it might live up to its name – the berries were delicious. I picked a quart of boysenberries (falling off the vines, sweet and nearly 1.5” long) and raspberries (much harder to find the nice ripe ones of these, but I turned over leaves and got a few choice ones), all for NZ$2.

Oh, and then there were the couple of kilos of berries that Sabrina, Lex and I ate while we were picking…
