Mare organised a trip to Young for cherry picking. We (Marion, Lyndsey, Janet and Megan) left Strathfield around 7.20am. Driving through showers, sunshine and windy weather, we got to Yass for a pitstop and breakie at Maccas. Before we could set off again, a sudden shower of small hail came spitting down. Not a good sign. Also the jackets and beanies came out...winter had hit us..didn't think it would be this cold..should have packed my snow jacket.
We got to Wombat Heights by 11.30am..and spent one and half hours picking cherries...one for the bucket..one in the mouth...one in the bucket..etc. The weather was against us...more hail showers and windy weather made picking a challenge, but we prevailed.
At $7 a kilo..we eached picked over 5 kgs each...at least a bucket full. We left around 1.30pm..making our way back with another stop at Yass KFC for a late lunch..hmm wicked wings...we'd built up an appetite picking those cherries. We got back to Strathfield around 6.00pm.
