A plum year for strawberries

There has been a silver lining to our soaking wet spring and early summer.

One farmer near Peterborough is celebrating the best year for pick your own strawberries since 1980.

Paddy Ivens says they've not only had a bumper strawberry crop but also record numbers of pickers too, up 10% on previous years.

John Devine went to meet Paddy at Hill Farm in Chesterton who cropped 18 tonnes of strawberries this season.
