These photographs were taken on the last day of September and capture all the work that goes on after we've finished buying soft fruit at Sunclose Farm, Impington. What an acreage of land! The seasonal workforce stays on for more than a month after the shop is closed to take down the polytunnels and generally tidy up. Many return to Eastern Europe for the winter months before returning next summer.
These strawberries were the only remaining fruit to be seen. I wonder who gets to eat them? Without the polytunnel for protection one could imagine the birds really enjoying the feast! The last couple of contre-jour photographs show how much vegetation had been allowed to grow inside some of the polytunnels at the end of the season.
