cherries

I finally got some at a good price. They are grown round here but the growers expect top prices!

I’m glad there are only two of us - cherry juice is dripping down our chins!

Three good things:
1. Found two of my 365 friends were going on the same cruise and they didn’t know each other - soon rectified that!
2. John got carried away looking a cruises - $45000 pp - have your own butler! He had a scenario with this butler… not to be made public
3. People with Downs Syndrome family - so hard and yet so rewarding in some ways! Modern medicine makes it easier!
Delicious!

Life is just a bowl of cherries! Thought I would get that in first!
Cherries are always expensive here too......you are a friend matchmaker! I agree looking after the more vulnerable in our society is a challenge but so worthwhile.

Simplicity at its best Maggie...fav

@happypat I never thought of that phrase, Pat! Well thought! The bowl of cherries are diminishing rapidly!

How cool a coincidence about 365 ers on the sand cruise. Tony? Mmmmm, yummy looking cherries.

@happypat Drat - beat me to it! The cherries on the tree my my front door get stolen!

@amandal Tony is @tonydebont and he goes for cruises every year. I noticed Margaret Pengelly @ubobohobo said she was going on an Indian ocean cruise and so I asked what boat she was going on. Turned out to be the same boat as Tony's. But as they said - there are 2000 people on this cruise - they don't even know what the other looks like!

@judithg by the birds or people, Judith? We have three cherry trees in the garden and just as they ripen the birds get absolutely all of them! Can't be bothered clambering all over them to put netting over!

@maggiemae People - at least one slightly dodgy bloke challenged by my neighbour! I can't eat all them myself but I object when I come home to find the tree empty - it's on a dwarf stock so can easily be stripped bare!

@maggiemae How cool would it be for them to meet up. Fun stuff.

Beautifully staged minimalist capture. Those cherries pop.

Beautiful shot. Thanks for giving me the link to Tony. Computers make this such a small world. Oh, now I'm humming "It's a small world after all. " Probably be in my head all day.

Neat shot. Love cherries too. My sister-in-law got a box of export quality ones from a family member at xmas, made me jealous. Luckily she lives 9 hours away.

These look delicious! Everyone is posting food shots. It's making me hungry.

@plumtree2015 Why Hazel? If she lived nearer would she be worried about a raid?
