It has been a typical autumn day here today . The sun has been shining , with that little Autumn crisp in the air, it has been so nice.
We took the girls up to the little cow shed in Brereton Heath today. It is literally a shed in the middle of a farm that dispenses fresh milk and fresh flavoured milk.
I know so many people that have been and have said how cool it is , but we’ve never had the chance to go , but they have opened up a little pumpkin patch this year so we decide to take the girls for one last half term treat :)
It’s only about 25 minutes drive from us, so didn’t take long at all. There is some free parking but also a pay and display for £1 an hour which I thought was really reasonable.
We decided to get our pumpkins first and then head for the milkshakes . Does anyone else find pumpkin picking hard work? , or are we just really fussy!.
We also try and find spookly every time we go pumpkin picking , if you’ve watched it on Netflix then you’ll know what I am on about :)
The patch was a little bit of the field that they had closed off with hay and they had scarecrows made on either side. I did tease the girls about them coming to life , they looked so real!.
We picked our pumpkins and queued up for milkshake. They have fresh plain milk or chocolate, strawberry and banana. They also do a special flavour every month and this time it was toffee apple, fitted in perfectly with Halloween.
So easy to do , and all contactless payment . It’s literally like a vending machine . The girls thought it was so cool. You can either buy a cup or a glass bottle and when you come back it’s cheaper to reuse the bottle which is a great idea.
We got every flavour and when I tell you this is the nicest milkshake I have ever tasted , I am not kidding. So creamy and absolutely delicious!.
The toffee apple had a slight toffee flavour and was such a different milkshake to try , but really tasty .
We also picked up some treats - I mean , when they have white chocolate ghosts filled with biscoff , I’m not saying no! :)
It was a lovely afternoon and really looking forward to going again .
I definitely have my eye on the salted caramel special when it next comes out :)
We have never been pumpkin picking before, but the idea of a nice cold, fresh milkshake afterwards has sold it to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun visit it looks like you had andmy girs would be in heaven with milkshake and white chocolate ghosts filled with biscoff!
ReplyDeleteI love how the milkshake is bottled, one thing I miss is actual bottled milk x
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to visit a pumpkin patch, Maybe next year. Those flavoured milks look so good
ReplyDeleteAw this sounds like such a great day and a great way to spend Halloween! I love the idea of the milkshake vending machine, I must see if there are any like that near me! x
