Happy days are Here Again...!!!!Have been enjoying a couple of days of "Winter"and it definately makes a difference, to most of the happenings around us, the people in the buses are more than happy to have the windows shut, and a slight crowd does not matter in this time, the fruits are luscious the blushing strawberry and the sugar watered Oranges, the black currants are all the rage in the fruit market, ....
I love this season, the cool morning walks, and some pet owners even wrap their little doggies with jackets and scarves, people sitting around a wood fire to warm themselves with cups of chai...I love these simple pleasures
Maybe we have just a few days left, as we have the festival of Holi which is meant to herald spring and then we get into the blistering hot summer, on the flip side don't we all wait for the King of fruits to arrive ?
For miles around us we will see a" golden sea"mounds and mounds of mangoes around us, people carrying boxes of them and some of them like me, setting out to make pickle, that is really meant to last till the next cycle, but believe me ... it really does not sit around for that long, an aunt here a neighbour there and the rest is meant for "us" "Hey mom where is the pickle you made last month ?"
Till then happy winter days !!!!
