1. The house – a friend’s family home – is so very ‘us’ that it’s like looking into a highly desirable future. There are so many things I like about it that I’d never be finished listing them but the thing that strikes me the most are the three, odd wooden chairs around the table in the kitchen, the wood on the arms worn smooth from years of hands.
2. The strong lemony after-taste from a wood sorrel leaf.
3. The dog with odd eyes stares at us as we enter. The first aisle smells strongly of melon or peach, something pleasantly fruity anyway. A perfectly floury batch loaf. But the highlight without a doubt are the Sicilian olives.
