Yesterday was really nice so we took a little drive to check out a castle only a half hour from us. We thought it might be a good place to take our company while they are here.
Along the way we saw lots of these tent-like structures so we stopped and looked inside. They are strawberries.
We've bought Belgisch strawberries several times at our local grocery store and although they're a bit expensive they are really good. Jim's comment on the first ones we bought was "These taste just like I remember strawberries tasting like when I was a kid". It's true. They are really good. So we've splurged and bought a few more.
As we were driving along, we saw a trailer loaded with crates of strawberries and wondered where it was going. We've never seen a roadside fruit stand. Anywhere. Until today!
Naturally we stopped and bought some. That's says "STRAWBERRIES FOR SALE". They weren't any less expensive, but they were really good.
And we ate every one of them before we got home.
Back to the castle. The grounds are really pretty. We decided this looks just like pink snow.
We took only this one picture of the very back of the castle so not to spoil showing our company the front view. It seems someone came for lunch in a helicopter. We never saw anyone get in or out of it so if we had a "brush with greatness", we didn't even know it.
It's like you live in a fairytale with castles all around!
ReplyDeleteI guess these berries are not generically infused with reptile DNA like ours....which are now freakishly HUGE and lacking flavor. Wish you could send some over the pond!
