Tomorrow is British Cherry Day and it's time for us to Save the British Cherry! In the last 50 years we have lost 90% of our orchards and we import around 95% of the cherries we eat in this country. But with rising oil prices and threats of global food shortages we need to work on becoming self-sufficient in temperate foods. So check out the range of events happening around the country tomorrow. Maybe pop into Borough Market, London to sample some cherry cheese or beer made with the sweet summer fruit. Or take a trip to Brogdale in Faversham, Kent, home of the National Fruit Collections, to enjoy their Cherry and Strawberry Delights festival. Anyway, I'm off to a festival so best get my whistle polished and dust off the crazy felt hat. See you next week....
