Tuesday, February 20/2024


 We’ve hardly noticed it, because winter here is not what we really regard as winter, but the season is changing. When did the leaves on the fig tree disappear? Did notice that there were fewer figs within reach of the road, but put that down to passersby - including us - helping themselves to one as they went. And the oranges on the trees are sparser at the same time as the oranges in the store are cheaper ( about 20tl a kilo or less - €0.60, £0.50, $0.87 CAD). But they’re also more tired. It’s a winter fruit and winter is no more. 


Do notice that the birds seem to have been enjoying easier access through the orange peel though!
