It's the citrus fruit season in Sicily and I never tire of marvelling at the freshness of the fruit available or at being able to buy it with the leaves still attached:
Last night, as Simi and I were coming home from our walk, Orazio the hairdresser called me and gave me a bag of chestnuts that he had picked. It was such a kind gesture and it really cheered me up on a cold, November evening.

What kind people they are!
Hi WL you do have wonderful kind people around you :-) When I was in Sicily I bought citrus fruit just because of the leaves being attached :-)
I'm out of touch. You've changed hairdressers?
i do envy you.. having such wonderful friends :-)
How lovely :-)
I am getting more and more jealous. I would kill for chestnuts and I love fruit with its leaves still intact. It’s no good – I will simply have to emigrate.
At Christmas I buy clemtines - but only if the leaves are with them. Lucky, lucky you.
They do look after you well over there. Those oranges look gorgeous. I hope your writing is going well.
You are surrounded by goodness! How thoughtful they are.
Hi, Liz. Yes, very kind. They are, Dragonstar. Hi, Anne. Yes, I do. I can understand you buying the fruit for that reason. Hi, James. No, it's just that I've got two! Oh, Sally, I'm sure you do, too. You don't know hopw I envy YOU because you are in a steady relationship! Hi, Cherie. It is, isn't it? You will have to, DD! Hi, Mopsa. I am very lucky. Hi, Ellee. They do. Well, so far, so good... Hi, Scintilla. They are very thoughtful.
I love roast chestnuts. One of my particular weaknesses.
They call the Marroni in Germany. Mmmmmmmmmmm....
