Borough Hall Farmers' Market

My Saturday morning farmers' market...the most deliciously ripe yellow peaches, above. A sea of blackberries below.

Tomatoes.

Tomato.

Thankyou for visiting my blog. And I've updated my profile, as you suggested. Cat pictures? There are some, but you'd have to back-read.They, of course want more!
And I see you've changed your Man's avatar!

What super fruits, a great choice of tomatoes, love the black ones. The blackberries look good in those blue punnets. Great photos as ever. x

Hi Louise - thank you...I like blackberries but I prefer youngberries or loganberries. Do you know about those? No one here seems to.

I do have loganberry canes in with the raspberries which give a much larger fruit. As for youngberries I don't know of those? x

What is 66 Square Feet About?

It's about gardening in tight spaces. It's about how to live with a man and a cat in a tiny apartment with a tiny terrace. It's about photos, and friends, and inspiration and blackspot on the roses. It's about food and cooking over an open flame. It's about wine. And water. And watering...And picnics. It's about seasons without and within. It's about New York, and about South Africa. It's about where I go, and what I come back to: a terrace twelve-and-three-quarters by five-and-a-quarter feet wide.

My book, 66 Square Feet - A Delicious Life, will be published by Stewart, Tabori and Chang (Abrams) in September. Click the link to pre-order it in Amazon!

Afterwards in the street, she looks around the neighborhood. "Yes, it is certified now."

She refers to a phenomenon of moviegoing which I have called certification. Nowadays when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere."

The Moviegoer, Walker Percy

"Die kierie kom uit Indonisie, gesny van 'n tak wat van jongs af omslinger was deur a wildevy se rank. Hulle het saam grootgeword, en die rank het sy spoor op die tak gelos. Daarom is die slinger ook oneweredig, en hier,"se hy, "by die punt van die kierie moes daar iets gebeur het - die slinger en die tak het inmekaar gevleg en 'n knoop gemaak. Die natuur het die kierie so gemaak."

"n Kieriemaker sou dit eweredig gedoen het," se ek.

"My kind," se meneer Boje, "vermy die reguit lyn."
