At the Foothills of Vesuvius

At the foothills of Vesuvius Scarlet against the leafy green Nurtured by the golden sun Sourced for lusciousness A cherry orchard Of well renown fruit ripened to pick yum!

Hi Andrea, Alas, I have not and probably never shall. I was inspired by an Italian chef, whose residence was in London, revisiting his roots and selecting local produce to cook for his family for the first time. Thank you for your lovely comment. Regards Theresa xx
