exquisite

Life's treasures! Looking at little things in isolation can bring new dimensions of pleasure.

After too many gelati (yes, it is possible) and too much pizza (not so easily achieved) it was an absolute taste delight to savour the juicy, aromatic, luscious, perfectly ripe peach that I had for lunch today. I served it on a white plate, throwing the rich colours into high contrast.

One delicious peach and a cup of ice-cold coffee. One sharp knife to cut tasty morsels, one serviette to catch any remaining juice after I had licked my fingers.

I dawdled over every slice, every drop of juice. Wonderful. Better still, I have another of a different variety for tomorrow. I can't wait!

Today I am grateful for fresh fruit and flavour.
