one of many reasons to like summer

Apricots! And Vide Greniers (car boot sales)
The apricot: probably the king of fruit, as one of Iris Murdoch's characters noted in The sea, the sea (incredible book).
Cooked with nothing other than a dribble of Banyuls (local version of sherry) they turn from, nice but not extraordinary fruit to absolute irresistible fruit, especially when served with cream . . .



Bowl from last Vide Grenier and a marvellous old battered spoon from a car boot in Birmingham many, many years ago.
