Decay

There is a lot of both wild and cultivated fruit that does not get picked for one reason or another. This apple I spotted has gently rotted since last autumn. Something about its wrinkly form appealed to me. I did a bit of work this morning, just caught the post and then went to lunch with friends; vine leaf roulades and guacamole starter, paupilletes de veau, salad, cheese and lemon dainty (our contribution), coffee and chocolate. Needless to say I did not get much done in the afternoon and think some baked beans and serrano ham will do me for tea before badminton tonight.
