The figs are finally ripening and they're gorgeous this year — huge, golden, sweet and juicy. I picked one and ate it off the tree and it tasted exactly of summer.
The veg patch is rampant now and we're back on the courgettes-with-everything regime. Lots of cucumbers too and we're learning how to pickle them (have I already mentioned that in a previous post? Oh well. It's very exciting). Our wild sour-cherry tree yielded up a puny 400 grams of cherries, which made one tiny jar of intensely flavoured, sublime jam.
Cass stomped on my foot last week whilst I was taking her an apple one evening and rather stupidly wearing only flip-flops. Owwwww.
So life goes on, only with a bit more hopping in it.

About Me
- Kirsty
- Camerino, Marche, Italy
- I live in an old converted farmhouse in central Italy with my partner John and our son Alessio, aged 14. We scrape a living as a copy editor and graphic designer respectively (haven't yet sent the boy out to work, but it can't be long) and we rent out a pretty apartment during the summer. It's a really nice place to stay and this is a great area for a holiday. Great area to live, too.
