Cedrat

I prowled around the house looking for inspiration...can I find it? 'Course I can'! I found it in 'Corsica..n' Cedratine is an aperitif made from the Cedrat fruit. The cedrat is in fact a cedrat lemon. It is not a true lemon although it is related to both lemons and limes. The Cedrat liqueur made in Corsica is quite rare outside of Corsica.

This is a miniature bought in Corsica when we were cruising through.

Three good things;
1. This miniature was not broken into like many of our older ones - two young sons decided to have a sip of about 15 when we were out! This night of revelry ended up with a hole in the ceiling - from high jinks!
2. I never thought I would do what others do - run out of battery time when set up for a good photo away from home- now I know I can do this so will be doubly careful
3. Saw a wee Blue penguin last night on my non photo shoot down at the Harbour. Blooming tourists were taking photos with a flash and that is totally forbidden. I told them!

wonderful light and vibrant colours maggie, will you ever taste the Cedrat ?

[Maggiemae]

@phil_howcroft There would have to be very good reason, Phil! Perhaps I'll scoff the lot and then suggest that we have to go back to Corsica to get some more!

Beautiful shot. I love reading what you write and wish I had the time every day to do so. So glad you said something to the tourists. I never use a flash for my photos.
