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
