Berries in a plastic box
Time was, the start of summer was marked in red. Berry red. The colour of fresh strawberries, brought home from the nearest U-Pick. Best undertaken in early morning while the fields were still damp from dew, and the samples (you had to sample, it was part of the package) were wet and cool. By the time you had a couple of baskets beside you, the sun was getting too high for safety, and it was time to find a kitchen with a hot oven. Biscuits. Fresh cream.
