[Sundae]

Watching Man Vs Food (not an impeccable source I will admit) I noted that "slaw" in some places looked like chopped cabbage and carrot. Given that my main issue with coleslaw is the flavour of the sauce, perhaps I am being too picky. I could easily eat cherries with cabbage and carrots, if sliced thinly.

I also note that it is cherry season with you now (from the sign in Thame market advertising American Cherry's). We have such a short season here. Not only does it make me feel bad to buy imported for ecological/ patriotic reasons, I also believe fruit that has to come from halfway around the world (Chile is usual for cherries) can never be as good as something freshly picked.

Penny, my cherry tree, gave me one cherry this year. But she's a baby and one cherry was a bonus. I will sing to her next year to encourage growth. I will rate my singing by the fruit she produces. I'm not telling her I know where the secateurs are - too much pressure.
