It's official......

...the cherries are eaten-and were perfect! After we came back from Valencia( where I go to pick DD up from the bus, when she's coming down from Barcelona), we decided that said cherries were looking 'just right'...not too big- not too little; not too pink- not too red; not too hard-not too soft...and reckoned it was time to 'go for it'. 


'You realise there is a price to pay for having one of the precious cherries?' I asked DD 
'There is?....' she replied, looking very suspiciously at me( as I grabbed the camera) 'Oh mum...do I have to?..I mean.really-why?'
'For posterity of course..it's our first crop!..and DON'T EAT THAT TILL I GET A PICTURE OF IT!' I cried.
'You don't really call two cherries a crop, I'm thinking' she retorted, but she did sit where I was pointing to


'Do I look as stupid as I feel?'

'Do we need a photo of me with my mouth full?' (she mumbled)

'Look as if you're really savouring it' pipes up the photographer

'It's actually really sweet ..can I have yours?'

Even though she had been a good sport, there was no way she was having my share of the 'crop'!

Maybe next year we'll have enough for two each!

Tanks for dropping by!
Look after you

    Oh this made me giggle - some people just don't get it do they??? The taking of photos just for our blogs and scrapbook pages! Your DD was clearly a good sport!

    You'll have to tell your daughter she made a fine example of how wonderful the cherries were and the photos made me wish I had some now!

    Thank you for making me smile on my weary monday morning. When we were in Disney, the whole family began to roll their eyes when I got the camera out saying "you can't really want a picture of that!"" I keep saying they will thank me in later years when trying to recall the details of there life!

    LOL - oh, how many times have I said, "Don't eat that until I get a picture..." around my house. ;o)

    Congrats on your crop! The photos are darling.
