…ham and jam, kippers and treacle..

….stoned and seeing red.
There is something iconic and primal about cherries. Apart from their perfect shape and colour, the true beauty of cherries lies in their ability to get stoned while I get juiced. The voluptuous simplicity of their shape and colour is seductive. … Continue reading
